    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I wish to send my condolences to all the bereaved families. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question asked by the distinguished Senator for Meru regarding the number of police reservists in Isiolo is all together a very new question. I do not have the answer right now but I will talk to him. If he wants me to pursue the Ministry, I will request them to give me the number. Regarding the 77 police reservists, who the Senator said are not adequate, the Cabinet Secretary (CS), in his answer, tabulated the reason why they will remain 77, because of very many police camps in the area. The CS said that there are no immediate plans to set up police posts. That goes along with the same thing because there is an Anti- Stock Theft Unit (ASTU) Camp at Kachuru, a General Service Unit (GSU) Camp at Ndumuru, Makinya, Mariara and a Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU) Camp at Mbaturu. These camps are adequately reliable to police the area effectively. However, if the hon. Senator is not satisfied with this answer, we can jointly approach the CS and see whether the number of police reservists could be increased. Concerning how many Boranas were arrested since the operation begun, that is also totally new, and I do not have the answer. However, I will pursue the answer from the Ministry if the hon. Senator wants me to do that. Regarding the selective arrests against the Merus, that question is also totally new to me, and I do not have an adequate answer. 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."
