"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As to the question raised by my friend, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, I am not aware whether this murder has any political connections. Neither am I aware of this person who threatened the deceased a day before his death. If it is true that there was such a threat, then the witnesses should have reported the matter so that the police may investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of this prominent lawyer. As to the question raised by Sen. Okong’o, we all know that there are a lot of small arms which have come into this country because of the many unstable countries that we neighbour. Therefore, on the question as to where they come from, there is no one who can particularly pinpoint where they come from. But it is general knowledge that there are a lot small arms that are in this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as to the question raised by Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo on why no arrest has been made, I think the fact that very senior people from the Homicide Section of the CID have been sent from Nairobi to go and reinforce those in Bungoma shows how serious the government is. We look forward to some tentative results as soon as possible. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as for Sen. Mukite’s question; yes, it is public knowledge that there has been some insecurity in Bungoma County. Of late, the insecurity situation has improved. It is unfortunate that after it has improved, the lawyer was murdered. We hope that as the police continue with their investigations, they will nab those who are behind this. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
