    "content": "(iv) reservist Ebrahim Lopotet was shot dead on 28th January, 2015 and one civilian Samuel Ewotong injured; and, (v) reservist Philip Ekalale Tia was shot dead on 6th February, 2015 at Lorogon Manyata. The Government cannot compensate the families of the deceased persons because they were not employees of the Government and as such, they are not covered by the existing Government compensation schemes for deceased persons. Mr. Speaker, Sir, security patrols have been intensified in the affected areas and on request, any contractor will be provided with security at the site. Further, the local leaders have been informed to seek for consent whenever their respective communities wish to be allowed to graze their livestock in areas outside their counties. Lastly, more often than not, the locals and the relatives of deceased persons do not inform the police of the murder of their kinsmen and do not as well allow for postmortem of the bodies before interment. Failure to have postmortem conducted on the bodies hinders the conclusion of investigation and as such inquest cannot be conducted by the court. It is therefore imperative for the leaders to advise members of their county on the importance of conducting postmortems on bodies. This was signed by Maj-General Joseph Nkaissery. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
