    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is an honour for you to give me an opportunity to read this Statement. This is a Statement on forceful eviction of residents of Mowlem area and killing of a minor, Daisy Cherop, from St. Andrews Nursery School by police in Endebess Constituency yesterday, 11th September 2019. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding the forceful eviction of residents of Mowlem area, Endebess Constituency, and killing of a nursery school child named Daisy Cherop aged five years on 11th September 2019. A contingent of police officers led by the Sub-County Police Commandant, in an inhumane way, forcefully evicted residents of Mowlem area in Endebess Constituency while destroying property, crops and preserved food in stores worth millions of shillings, despite a court order issued by Justice Mwangi Njoroge of Kitale Environment and Land Court on 30th July 2019 stopping any evictions until the matter is resolved. This has caused unbearable pain, hunger, lack of housing and landlessness for the residents of the said area. Further, during the forceful evictions, the family of Dan Kiptoo - a grandson to Chinja Kuku - and Sheila Chepkemoi, lost their beloved daughter, a minor and nursery school child named Daisy Cherop, aged five years from St. Andrews Nursery School who was shot and lost her life as a result of that mayhem. The family is in anguish for the loss of their beloved daughter. On that note, I wish to take this opportunity to convey my heartfelt condolences to the family and the constituency in general. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on the following: (i) The actions being taken against the Sub-County Police Commandant for the unlawful and forceful evictions of residents of Mowlem area, Endebess Constituency, despite a court order being issued against eviction of the residents. (ii) Actions undertaken to ensure that investigations leading to the shooting and killing of the minor, the late Daisy Cherop, are carried out and action being taken against the police officer who shot and killed the said child.
