    "content": "On the Statement sought by Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve on assault of a secondary school student on 6th June, 2019, we sought a response from the Ministry. It is important for the Senators to note that our Committee gets Statements almost on a daily basis. To easily deal with these issues, we shall compile the Statements and then organise for a full meeting once a month which will run from morning to lunch time. In the meeting, we will have all the security agencies; the Inspector-General of Police, CS and the Principal Secretary for the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. We will send the compiled Statements to them and they will give us a preliminary response as we have done today. We will later sit together so as to exhaustively deal with these issues. That will help us avoid calling the CSs every week. I will finally talk about Sen. Murkomen who had sought a Statement on the withdrawal of police reservists from communities in Kerio Valley. We scheduled a meeting with the CS and the Senators attended that meeting. Sen. Halake had also sought for a Statement on the cyclic droughts and floods in the country and we have received a response from the Ministry asking that it be redirected. Our plea is that the Ministry should not send the Statement back to us. Instead, they should forward it to the relevant Ministry because the back and forth, paper trail and bureaucracy in Government slows down this process. However, we have rerouted it to the relevant Ministry. Two Petitions were referred to our Committee and we have dealt with them and will be bringing a report. The first Petition was on ex-Kenya Air Force officers and servicemen---"
