    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to request for a statement on a county issue under the provisions of Standing Order No.45(2)(a). This matter appertains to the arrest of several youth in West Pokot County after raising integrity issues over management of funds allocated to the county. The four youths arrested so far are; (1) Bruno Lomweno (2) Allan Pkite Rengete (3) Elijah Lokori Kaseuseu; and, (4) Malik Kassachoon. These youth raised concern over the inflated cost of construction of nurses’ houses at some dispensaries across the county. However, instead of the matter being investigated by the county authorities, the youth are being harassed by the police and Criminal Investigations Department (CID) officers at the behest of those accused of impropriety. I take this opportunity to appeal to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to intervene in the matter and to request the Director of CID to inquire into the circumstances under which the above youth were arrested. He should investigate the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
