Deputy Speaker, I, the undersigned, on behalf of the families of the late Peter Wanyama Wanyonyi and Edward Barasa, both residents of Kimilili Constituency, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, the late lawyer Peter Wanyama Wanyonyi and Edward Barasa, a businessman from Kimilili Constituency, were murdered in cold blood in their homes in different occasions in what was alleged to be political attack. THAT, the late Peter Wanyama was a counsel representing former Minister Musikari Kombo in an election petition while Edward Barasa was his cousin and also a Jubilee chief campaigner in Bungoma County. THAT, the two were painfully shot dead at different scenes on 17th September, 2013 and 20thJuly, 2017 respectively. THAT, prior to their murder, they had received threats and had been trailed a number of times by unknown people. THAT, the matter was reported to the police, who never took any action to otherwise deter the heinous acts. THAT, the families of the deceased have been subjected to untold suffering since then. THAT, the Government called on police to speed up investigations into the two cases but the report of the investigations into the matter has never been shared with the deceased families to date. THAT, the matter presented in this Petition is not pending before any tribunal, court of law or constitutional body. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
