"content": "At the outset, I want to join the rest of the Members in sending my condolences to the families of those who lost their beloved ones in this very unfortunate incident. As it has been said by a majority of my colleagues, the incident in Todonyang is not the first one. The only difference is that there is a bigger number of casualties this time around. Hon. Temporary Speaker, you remember the incident where people died after officers from the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) were alleged to have killed some fishermen. We have never resolved that issue. With past unresolved cases involving, allegedly KWS officers leading to the deaths of fishermen, it is clear that a multi-agency approach is necessary. The Speaker’s directive to address this comprehensively was crucial, but before any resolution could be reached, we are now faced with another tragic incident. We need to look for a way of bringing this to an end."

"content": "We want to assure you that, as a Ministry, the government will do whatever it takes to prevent further loss of life in such situations. During the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) discussions, when these agencies appeared before the Committee, the issue of Turkana and the loss of life was raised, particularly concerning the Coast Guards, who are responsible for safeguarding our seas and oceans. We challenged them to open a station in Turkana. We asked the Committee to allocate more resources to enable them add more boats. Lake Turkana was picked as one of the critical waters that should be patrolled."

This is in addition to increasing the number of formed units. I am happy to report that the Cabinet Secretary visited the area and made robust interventions. I believe they are already being rolled out immediately."
