    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on Thursday, 24th November, 2011, Mrs. Shebesh rose on a point of order and sought a Ministerial Statement on the shooting of Ibrahim Ondego and Joseph Nyaberi. She wanted to confirm whether a car belonging to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) was seen at the crime scene and whether the officers were trying to interfere with the scene. Lastly, she requested that I explain the action taken to apprehend the culprits and compensate the bereaved family. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 23rd November, 2011, at about 0345 hours, two police officers, namely PC Simon Kikwai, Personal Number 65073 and PC Ndolo Musili, Personal Number 76855 from Muthangari Police Station were on patrol within Kawangware area when they allegedly heard screams of a person. They reversed towards the direction of the screams and on the way, they met two men who were coming from the opposite direction. They shot at the two, killing them instantly. After the shooting, a large crowd gathered at the scene and allegations started emerging that the two deceased persons were on their way to Gikomba Open Air Market to buy groceries. The allegations that the officers tried to interfere with the scene are being investigated. Further, there was no CID vehicle at the scene at the time say for the Crime Scene Support Services (CSSS) vehicle, which visited the scene after the incident. The CSSS officers processed the scene and the bodies were taken to the mortuary for postmortem. After preliminary investigations by the PCIO, Nairobi Area, the two police officers were arrested on 23rd November, 2011, and arraigned in the High Court on the same day, charged with the offence of murder vide Criminal Case No.144/185/2011, High Court Criminal Case No.91/2011. Therefore, providing more details of this case would be subjudice as the case is before the court as we speak. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir."
