In the Statement, the chairperson should state: (1) Whether the period within which the Gazette Notice dated, 17th March 2017 by the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government declaring Rumuruti, El Molo, Kerimon, Ng’arua, Marmanet, Mgogodo East, Segera as disturbed and dangerous areas where possession of any arms was prohibited was extended. (2) Enumerate the number of cows that have allegedly killed by the police officers since the area was declared a disturbed and dangerous zone. (3) Explain what happened immediately following the shooting of the cows. (4) Whether any herders were arrested by the police officers from the scene of crime and the status of the arrested herders. (5) State the measures that the Inspector General of Police took to preserve the crime area following the killing of over 300 cows last week. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Statement was presented quite a while ago but we did not get any response and that is the reason why I have re-introduced it. (6) Confirm whether as alleged, the herders invaded a private ranch and if so, whether the ranch owners filled a complaint with the police officers. (7) State the names and owners of the said ranch where the cows were killed. (8) Table a list of the disciplined forces who were deployed to the areas and the specific makeup of each discipline, stating the community from which they come and percentages per community. (9) State the measures that the Government will take to compensate the herders who lost their cows and specifically Mr. Lena Kukuyia who lost 168 cows and Mr. Lekale Simiyu who lost 138 cows (10) Explain the measures that the Government has put in place to bring to an end the killing of livestock and foster harmonious living between the communities and the ranch owners. Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to add that it would be good for the Chairperson of this Committee to explain how and what the Government is doing to bring the three communities together because as of yesterday, the three communities were stilling killing one another. Thank you."
