    "content": "THAT, the matter presented in this Petition is not pending before any tribunal or court of law. Therefore, your humble Petitioner prays that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security:- (i) Recommends immediate deployment of more security personnel to enforce law and order in Kiambu County and ensure that this illegal militia is disbanded. (ii) Ensures that the Petitioners’ plight is addressed and, (iii) Makes any other orders or direction that it deems fit in the circumstances of this case. Hon. Speaker, just to add, I can indeed confirm about these militias because on two occasions, in January 2015, I was a victim in Thika Town when the said militia attacked a vehicle that was carrying Hon. Alice Ng’anga, Hon. Mburu Kahangara of Lari and myself. A lady was shot that day. We reported the matter to the District Criminal Investigation Officer (DCIO) and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Thika Town and to date not a single arrest has been effected. Bullets were fired at our cars culminating in the shooting of a lady who is still incapacitated to date. Towards the end of last year, the same militia group in the wee hours of the morning attacked and with the protection of Administration Police burnt down a market that takes care of a population of probably 15,000 people within and without Thika. Under the full glare and protection of Administration Police, the same gang was last month mobilised from slum areas in Nairobi such as Mathare, Kariobangi and other areas of the county."
