"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) On the 26th February, 2011 at about 1.15 a.m., the late Joseph Cheptarus who was an Assistant Commissioner of Investigations and Enforcement at Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) arrived home in Soledo Estate in South C in his private car, registration number KBM 772N. As he was waiting for the gate to be opened, he was confronted by an unknown number of armed gangsters who shot him twice on the chest and left him there. The gang escaped using his car which was later recovered abandoned within Karen area. It was processed for evidence and meanwhile, the victim was rushed to Mater Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Police visited the scene and recovered two spent cartridges and investigations commenced immediately. Police Case File Langâata Police Station Cr.170/46/2011 was opened. The Minister is not in a position, at the moment, to link this death to the investigations into the alleged illegal importation of 2.5 tonnes of gold as the investigatons are ongoing. It is only after the completion of the investigations that the motive behind the murder of this gentleman can be ascertained. (b) The case is under investigations and the investigating officers are following crucial leads which may lead to the arrest of the suspects behind this heinous act. (c)The Government has deployed security officers to support the work of KRA. In circumstances where they are involved in sensitive and risky assignments, they are free to deploy them."
