(2) Whether the Government is aware that the matter was reported at Kapsokwony Police Station by the KWS officer who purported to have killed bandits and managed to recover a bullet magazine. (3) The action that has been taken to establish the truth in this matter. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to state as follows: The Government is aware that on 16th April, 2015, at about 2.00 p.m., corporal Isaac Leweri of Kaberua KWS Station reported at Kapsokwony Police Station vide OB. No.29/16/4/2015 that some rangers on normal patrol within Kamuneru Forest in Mt. Elgon were confronted by three suspected poachers resulting in an exchange of fire between the two parties. Two of the suspects were fatally shot while the third one escaped. The officers recovered one magazine loaded with eight rounds of 7.62 millimetres ordinary calibre. The officers called for reinforcement from Kapsokwony Police Station and KWS camp, but unfortunately, the search for the suspect was unfruitful. The two bodies were later moved to Webuye Sub-County Hospital for identification and post-mortem. The deceased persons were later identified as Isaac Kibet Kikwei aged 27 years and Silas Chepkoech aged 20 years from Kaimugul Sub-Location, Chepyuk Location in Mt. Elgon. Investigations were commenced vide Kapsokwony Police Station Inquest File No.2/2015 which was finalised and forwarded to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for perusal and advice. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
