    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, On 17th, February, 2014, Sen. Munyes requested for a Statement regarding the destruction of Turkana South ecology in Kainuk Town, Turkana County. The hon. Senator sought to be informed on:- (i) the extent of the destruction of the property; (ii) the motive of the destruction on the perpetrators; (iii) the number of the National Police Reservists(NPR) and the civilians killed to date and explain the cause of these killings; (iv) the step being taken by the national Government to compensate the affected families for loss of their loved ones and property; and, (v) the steps that the Government will undertake to avert more killings and sabotage of this project and other projects like schools and roads in the County of Turkana. I wish to state as follows:- In January 2015, suspected Pokot raiders attacked a construction site for Eco- Lodge Resort Centre which is being put up by the county government of Turkana within Kainuk area. The raiders destroyed one plastic water tank of 10,000 litres and demolished a temporary iron sheet store before stealing a number of iron sheets. It is suspected that the motive of the attackers was to stall the construction of the resort centre since they claim that it is being constructed in their grazing fields and that they were not consulted. However, the police have since commenced investigation into the incident. A number of the National Police Service Reservists and civilians have been killed by raiders in the last one year as indicated below:- (i) reservist Damien Iwoi Kadamong and Samwel rongor and one civilian Paul Ikidor were shot dead on 4th April, 2014 at Kaptir grazing field. (ii) reservist Langamundamoi Namutwoli, was shot dead on 18th, July at Kakong grazing field; (iii)reservist Joseph Inglan Ekal, was shot dead on 11th, September, 2014 at Amolel grazing field; (iv) on 27th, November, 2014, Reservist John longori was found dead in the bush with gunshot wounds in the head; 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."
