    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 2nd May, 2011 at around 7.00 a.m., four Merille tribesmen from Ethiopia ambushed a group of Turkana fishermen in the lake, killing one respected fisher folks leader and injuring another one in Turkana North District. In the commotion that ensued, unknown Turkana persons in retaliation, shot dead four Merille tribesmen otherwise known as Dassanch community members who where peacefully co-existing with the Turkana at Tajonya Catholic Church compound. It is suspected that some members of the Merille community escaped from the Turkana village and ran towards the Ethiopian direction for their safety. On their way to Ethiopia, it is alleged that they met a group from Merille who were escorting a group of Turkana committee members who had gone to Sies Village, a Merille village, to purchase food on the Kenyan side of the Kenya/Ethiopian border. Word reached them that their colleagues had been killed by the Turkana at the Tajonya Catholic compound. They turned against the Turkanas they were escorting and killed nine men and ten women, bringing the total number to 20 Turkanas. Two men were also injured, but they were later taken to hospital, treated and discharged."
