    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chairman for labouring to bring this Statement. Like my colleagues who have spoken before me have mentioned, I sought this Statement while knowing very well that I needed the answers to be given. So, if there is anything that the ordinary mwananchi is not supposed to know, the hon. Senators are supposed to know this. I took an opportunity to talk to the relevant officers and they told me that I would be given the information when I seek this Statement. So, the Chairman should not speak on their behalf. You cannot say that we cannot reveal this when there is a lot of mayhem right now at the border of West Pokot and Turkana and also Samburu and Turkana. We need this information to come in the open, so that we can know whether or not the firearms that are being used there belong to the Government. Mr. Speaker, Sir, lastly, the Chairman has given a very long list of almost ten criteria that they follow in identifying who becomes a KPR. I have just sought a Statement a few minutes ago, where one bandit from Turkana killed three people and it is known that he is a KPR. His name is Ang’olesin Lokuron. I do not know whether this criterion was followed in identifying him. The Officers Commanding Police Division (OCPDs) from the two sides are looking for this character at the moment. So, the Chairman should not say that he cannot reveal the information when there is a problem there. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the information on the firearms can also assist us to determine whether the guns that got lost in Baragoi are the ones being used to kill people."
