"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I thank Hon. Mandazi for that request for statement. Although it is just for his constituency, so many administrative units have been gazetted over the years. Some date back from 2017, including over ten in Gilgil. Koelel and Kamathatha are examples. There are so many. As the Committee answers with a statement, they can have a general overview of all gazetted units that have not been operationalised. That is so that we do not keep on asking about them for every constituency. Units will have been evaluated by the time we get to gazettement. They take into account the populations and all the other factors. Hon. Deputy Speaker, my plea is that you direct the Chairman to do an overview of all the others in other regions."

Indeed, the delay in making them operational has caused a lot of inconveniences in so many ways. We are affected even in Taita Taveta. Some are ready but not operational. We miss opportunities in cases of recruitment and such matters. As the Committee gives answers to those questions, I also agree that they look at it in the entire country."

We appreciate you for raising this, Hon. Victor Koech. I hope the Table Office will ensure that the clerk of the relevant Committee also puts it on the agenda of the Committee. The next request for statement is by the Member for Nakuru Town East, Hon. Gikaria. You may proceed."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I request for a statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Tourism and Wildlife, regarding the disappearance of Mr Brian Makori Odhiambo. Mr Brian Makori Odhiambo of ID No.3072005, who is a resident of Manyani area in Kivumbini Ward in Nakuru Town East Constituency, accessed Lake Nakuru National Park on 18th January 2025 with the intent of fishing for family consumption and sale of surplus fish. Upon gaining entry, he came across a Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) Land Cruiser vehicle on patrol. He exited the park immediately. The KWS officers on patrol pursued him. Upon finding him at a residential plot, they assaulted and dragged him back to the park. Efforts to trace him in various police stations within the area, including Bondeni Police Station, have proved futile. His mother was informed that he had not been presented to a police station. On 19th January 2025, residents of Manyani area were permitted to search for Mr Odhiambo at the KWS premises to no avail. According to a police report, Mr Odhiambo’s mobile number was triangulated to be within Nakuru Town. It was later switched off around a forest in Bahati Constituency. Since then, his whereabouts remain unknown, leading to protests within the area. It is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Tourism and Wildlife on the following: 1. A report on the status of investigations into the circumstances that led to the unlawful assault and arrest of Mr Brian Makori Odhiambo by KWS officers. 2. Measures the Government is putting in place to ensure Mr Brian Odhiambo is found and reunited with his family. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I only wish to lend my voice and support for that request for a statement, and to add that I am aware that the case of Brian Odhiambo was actually litigated in court in case number E003 of 2025. However, the court came to the conclusion that they could not issue orders of habeas corpus because it was not demonstrated that he was in the custody of the respondent. And for that reason, I think it is appropriate to broaden that search, as requested by Hon. Gikaria, so that we can get to the bottom of it. It is in the context of some of those unexplained disappearances, and I think it is appropriate that we as the august House, must come and ensure that whenever such an incident occurs, we bring all the institutions that can possibly come together, so that we can get to the bottom of it. We hope that Mr Brian Odhiambo will be found alive. But in any event, he must be found. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
