The case is pending before court. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Governor made an address at Merigi Market on 22nd February, 2016 and not 19th August, 2016. He said he was equivalent to His Excellency the President and Deputy President and he would mobilise over 10,000 youth to evict the County Commissioner from office in three days and make Bomet County ungovernable. The Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) Bomet County opened an enquiry File No.3 of 2016 and the file was forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecution for advice. The Government is guided by the rule of law, therefore, does not intend to use the police to intimidate members of the Opposition. Security will be provided to all political aspirants and politicians irrespective of their political affiliation, as long as they notify the police as required by law. Hooligans are normally used by some politicians to further their selfish political interests and it is not yet clear where the money to pay them comes from. The Government is not aware of counties perpetuating hooliganism from county resources. The Government will not tolerate acts of hooliganism in political activities and will deal firmly with the perpetuators and financiers of such acts according to the law. Security will be provided to all aspirants, including women aspirants as long as they notify the police as required any law. The Government deals with any person breaching the law during political functions and programmes according to the law of Kenya. The Government will continue to monitor political activities as we approach the next general elections to avert any attacks during political functions and programmes."
