"content": "members of our Committee to go for a fact-finding mission to Maralal, most probably in a month’s time after we are through with the Mpeketoni issue. So, we will do that and then report to the House. Hon. Speaker, I know it is very painful when you lose a young man and especially a student who is a leader in the university. We will also insist that the Director of Criminal Investigations fast-tracks this investigation so that we can get to the bottom of it, so that those people who were involved in these extrajudicial killings are actually brought to book. We will get in touch with the office, including summoning him together with the Inspector-General so that this case is fast tracked. Hon. Speaker, on what hon. Korere said about the business of cattle rustling, the Government is investigating it together with these extrajudicial killings to actually find out if that business is really taking place especially in that particular area. I also wish to remind Members and even the House that even the Independent Policing Oversight Authority has taken over this matter and it is investigating it thoroughly. An officer who will be found to be culpable will be dealt with properly and according to the law. I have answered what my Vice-Chair should have said about investigations taking too long. This has to be fast tracked. We will also insist, through the Cabinet Secretary that in that particular area movement permits be introduced to avoid this issue of stolen livestock moving to other counties. I thank you, hon. Speaker."
