    "content": "for the formation of an ad hoc committee to look into this matter. I say this because of the history of that region. Once upon a time we had the SLDF which went around beheading people and cutting their ears. We are getting worried. I represent Kiminini Constituency which is a neighbouring constituency. It originated from Bungoma. We have relatives who have suffered and others who have cried. I am sure the IG is listening. With immediate effect, the police officers in the area should be transferred. When a security officer overstays at a place, they collude with criminals so that they can share whatever proceeds are generated. That has to be done immediately. For the people who have lost lives, the Government should compensate their families. That is why we say that parliamentary committees must be put in place. If the committee will not be in place, Hon. Didmus, through the Leader of the Majority Party, should move quickly and seek to establish an ad hoc committee on this. It has happened before and we cannot wait. I can see Major there who has been in the military. It would be nice for him to be on that committee to provide his skills so that the people who are killing our people in Bungoma are brought to book and this is brought to an end. Forty two people have lost their lives. We send our message of condolence to their families. He has mentioned Chebyuk and Chesamisi where we originated from. These particular issues should not be tolerated. It is high time the police force, wherever they are, do something to contain the situation. The Inspector-General whom I have a lot of confidence in should move with speed and clear that area."
