James Lomenen, requested for a statement on the alleged deterioration of security in Turkana South Sub-County. The hon. Member alleged that on 15th March, 2013, unknown raiders invaded a village in Kakong’u area and made away with 3,000 goats before killing seven residents. The hon. Member particularly sought to be informed on the following:- 1. the General Service Unit (GSU) officer who on 16th March, 2013, killed a resident of Kakong’u, after a peaceful demonstration; 2. Security measures that the Government has put in place to improve surveillance and patrols n Turkana South, especially along the borders with West Pokot County in Kakong’u, Nakwamoru, Loyapat and Kapelibok areas. Hon. Speaker, I wish to give the following response from the Cabinet Secretary. The security situation in Turkana South has remained stable, except for a few isolated incidents reported from the sub-county on 15th March, 2014, and not the year 2013, as indicated by the hon. Member. At about 11.50 a.m. an unknown number of raiders attacked Kakong’u area within Kainuk Location, Turkana South Sub-county and made away with unknown number of goats. A male adult aged 45 years; namely Longiro Lotengae was also shot dead and three others as follows: One, Mr. Lokoriman Manen aged, 45 years and a Kenya Police Reservist sustained gunshot wounds on the left hand. Two, Lolimu Etolem aged 22 years, sustained gunshot wounds on the right hand and three, Arika Rekamoi aged 50 years sustained gunshot wounds on the right leg. Those injured were rushed to Lodwar District Hospital in stable condition. The incident was reported to Kainuk Police Station on the same day. The following day at about 7.00 a.m. the officer in charge of Kakong’u Administration Police Camp reported to Kainuk Police Station that a mob of about 50 bandits who were armed with AK47 rifles had barricaded Kitale-Lodwar Highway with stones and logs, paralyzing movement of motor vehicles. The demonstrators’ grievances were, among others, delayed recovery of the animals that had been stolen the previous day and assurance from the Government of their security.
