Madam Temporary Speaker, there are a lot of extrajudicial killings especially in the community adjacent to Meru National Park. Several people have been apprehended and killed since 2013. I have a list of people who have disappeared since 2011. They are Abdi Guyo (2011), Mohamed Mursale Alio (2012), Ibrahim Kabelo (2012), Mohamed Abduba Ade (2013), Boru Sora Boru (2013), Adan Bille (2013), Gilimpe Jaba Gufu (2013), Abdi Hassan Dagalle (2014), Adan Kashune (March, 2014), Hassan Diba Konsicha (2014), Abdullahi Golo Abdi (2014) and Kalicha Halakhe Dima. All these people have disappeared and nobody knows where they have gone. Their families are frustrated because they cannot trace their whereabouts and the fingers are actually pointing at the KWS. It is important for this matter to be investigated to establish what is happening to these people and where they have gone. Again, over 14 people have gone missing since 2013 under mysterious circumstances; allegedly kidnapped by the KWS. These include three persons who were on a motorbike registration No.KMDJ101D. They were waylaid on their way home to Duse, a ward in Isiolo County, a few kilometres from Kinna Town, by KWS rangers on Saturday 9th May, 2015. They have not been seen up to date. This incident was witnessed by community members living in the vicinity. They are: Ismail Adan Gedi, Kalicha Halakhe Dima and Godana Guyo Dobe. It is really frustrating because these people were picked in broad daylight and up to now, nobody knows their whereabouts. People are pointing fingers are the KWS because the situation is really very bad. The KWS rangers shot and killed one person and injured several others during a peaceful demonstration, again, on 18th May, 2015; this was witnessed by community members. The injured included students aged between 18 and 25 years. The ones who are in hospital are: Hassan Intalo, shot in the leg by KWS; Sala Diba Abduba, shot in the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
