    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) On 12th December, 2010, at about 9.00 p.m. Mr. Ochieng Migangu – a resident of Kanyamenda area – was attacked by a gang of about ten men and robbed of the following: One motorcycle registration No.KMCM 194K, electronic goods and other household goods. The complainant also sustained a fracture on his right hand and serious injuries on other parts of his body. After the incident, the complainant reported the robbery at Industrial Area Police Patrol Base at about 9.30 p.m. As the police officers were moving to the scene, they intercepted a gang of four riding on two motorcycles near the police patrol base within Industrial Area - that is Sabuni Road in Kisumu. The complainant was able to identify his motorcycle to the police officers who ordered the suspects to stop, but they defied the order and sped off. The officers then opened fire fatally injuring the four and recovered the motorcycle make TVS Reg.No.KMCM 194K. They also recovered a second motorcycle Registration No.KAD 715 Z, an electric extension cable, a panga and a hammer. The complainant identified the first motorcycle Registration No.KMCM 194K and the electric extension cable as belonging to him. (b) The police officers were acting on correct information in that the complainant positively identified his motorcycle by the registration plate. The police challenged the gang to stop, but they defied the orders and sped off. The suspects were armed with a panga and a hammer. (c) Investigations commenced immediately and the CID Inquest File No.2/10 was opened and forwarded to the Attorney-General’s Chambers, Kisumu, for perusal and advice. The Attorney-General has since directed that the file be placed before a magistrate for public inquest. The hearing will commence on 15th September, 2011. The Minister cannot compensate the families of the deceased unless the officers are found guilty and a court order to that effect is also issued."
