    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that four people were killed near 78 Tank Battalion Military Camp on 24th February at Kisima Village, Ngarimara Location, Muthaara Division of Tigania East District. Following the incident, one suspect, Mohammed Waku, a Borana male aged 27 years was arrested with gunshot injuries on his right thigh and taken to Chogoria Hospital where he was admitted for treatment awaiting to be charged in court with the offence of robbery with violence. A police criminal case File No.472/84/2011 was opened. (b) The Government is not aware of any herdsmen who carry illegal firearms openly in the grazing fields. However, the process of mopping up illegal firearms is currently underway and there are security teams deployed at Kambela and Mbataru areas to conduct the exercise. (c) No person has been denied a firearm licence within the grazing zones. The District Security Intelligence Committee has vetted some locals who have applied to be issued with firearms in Tigania East and the process is ongoing. So far, a total of 17 applicants have been vetted. We are ready to issue the firearms certificates to those who have already been vetted."
