This Statement was ready yesterday but unfortunately the Questioner was not available and we agreed that I would answer this afternoon and here I am to answer it, with your permission. CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE DEATH OF MR. HENRY NYABUTO OMWANGE Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a Statement from the Ministry of Internal Security on the circumstances surrounding the death of Henry Nyabuto Omwange. On 5th November, 2013, Sen. Obure requested for a Statement on the circumstances surrounding the death of Henry Nyabuto Omwange, a civil servant, who until his death was working with the Forest Department in Ogembo District headquarters. The hon. Senator particularly sought information on the following:- (i) Whether the Cabinet Secretary, Interior and Coordination of National Government was aware that on the evening of 20th August, 2013 at around 7.00 p.m. the late officer received a telephone call asking him to go back to Ogembo town for a short meeting. (ii) Whether the Cabinet Secretary is aware that at about 9.00 p.m. on the same evening the late Omwange contacted his family, informing them he was being held by people and he might not come back alive. (iv) Whether the Cabinet Secretary is aware that the distressed family immediately reported the matter to Ogembo Police Station, asking for assistance to rescue the late Omwange and the action taken by police. (v) Whether the Cabinet Secretary could confirm if there have been other previous cases in which officers working in the Forest Department in Ogembo Town have lost their lives and measures the Government had put in place to contain increasing incidents of security violations in the area. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to state as follows:- On 20th August, 2013 at about 7.30 p.m., Mr. Henry Nyabuto Omwange, aged 50 years, an employee of Kenya Forest Service, left his home at Samata near Ogembo Town without informing his family where he was going to. When Mr. Omwange failed to return home early, his son Alex Nyabuto and wife Jane Kwamboka decided to call him on his cell-phone, according to the wife, as revealed during police investigations. The deceased is alleged to have informed his wife that he had been kidnapped and feared for his life. The wife and son made a report of the missing person to Ogembo Police Station vide OB No.31 of 21 August, 2013. In their reporting, the family never revealed information of the deceased having been kidnapped and therefore nothing could have made the police to launch a rescue operation. 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"
