"content": "He has captured it right. The only part that is not accurate, is that initially, and indeed at the time of going there, I thought that there had been a child. However, it turned out that there were all five male adults of different ages. The Inspector General of Police spoke in broad daylight to the citizens, media and the country that any police officer who was involved in those killings will carry their own cross. I thought that was a good sign from him, meaning that the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) was going to swing into action and by now, we would have known the identity of those officers and what action has been taken. It is now more than three weeks, nearly a month, since that incident happened yet nothing has been said from the investigative agencies. I thought the practice is that in such a matter of great national concern, by now the country would have been updated, at least by IPOA, of the status of investigations and when the citizens will get justice. Secondly and most importantly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a particular Administration Officer, a Mr. Jubat, if I am not wrong, whose name was profusely mentioned by the citizens. He was alleged to have participated in organising and leading this particular exercise. I thought by now the Ministry of Interior and National Administration would equally have updated the country on what disciplinary action has been taken against that particular officer. Transferring him is not a solution. If you transfer an administration officer who has led an exercise such as this and that has led to the death of citizens, basically you are sending him to go and repeat the same kind of killings in another part of the country. That cannot be acceptable. Therefore, I hope, that when the answers come, we will be told also of what will have happened to this particular officer and the status of investigations---"

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to add my voice on the Statement by the good Senator from Busia County, Sen. Okiya Omtatah. The issue of excessive use of force by the police in the country is something that must stop because we lose way too many lives to recklessness by the police. Mr. Speaker, Sir, since most of the Senators have put their voice on this, there needs to be a long-term solution to what is happening in Angata Barikoi. The livelihood of the people in these areas has been affected for way too long. It would interest you to know that on the other side of Angata Barikoi is Gwitembe in the Kuria region that falls in Migori County. This is a community that is so good at contributing in the agricultural basket of this country, very hardworking and in very good environment that crops would be thriving. However, during rainy and non-rainy seasons, they cannot settle. The people of Kuria cannot settle and focus on agriculture. In fact, a number of times, we, leaders are forced to go and visit the communities during festive seasons, to at least have them also enjoy festive seasons. For instance, Christmas and New Year, since they have been going on for a whole year without planting because of the wars and insecurity as a result of the dispute of that land."

"content": "So, while it happened that on the Ang’ata Barikoi side is where the police shot a number of people, it is also true that, that conflict is taking more lives in the entire region. Apart from the Committee dealing with this, since it is an ongoing conflict year-in, year- out, I would like to indulge and beg you that, perhaps, it is a good time to bring a Motion in this House and seek a resolution of the Senate to deal with what is going on at Ang’ata Barikoi, Kuria Community and the Kipsigis Community on the other side. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not right that even the Maasai Community that is on the other side have now been brought into this conflict---"

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to contribute to this Statement by Sen. Omtatah on the issue of the killing of residents of Ang’ata Barikoi. This information came to us and we really regret it. We want to condole with the people of Narok, more so the Ang’ata Barikoi Area. We believe that the Committee responsible will act on this matter as quickly as possible so that we do not act on an issue that has been overtaken by events. We are looking forward to see the action that the police have taken on this matter because there are no arrests. These are the things which make us wonder why we have systems and structures in the Government. So, we are looking forward to see the Committee coming in handy to make sure that these issues have been addressed as early as possible. The issue of land has caused a problem. We would like to know what issues contributed to this problem because these are issues concerning land. What about that land that has been having a dispute? We are also looking forward to seeing the compensation of the victims. I also want to contribute on the Statement by Sen. Mungatana on issues of public land, private land or even community land that is being used by the Government without compensating the affected land owners. I will refer to a land just next to Nairobi here at a place called Vetland in Ngong’ area, where the Government has created lots of quarries to remove murram, stones and building materials for public use with no compensation to the communities around there. There is a lot of excavation and destruction. They do a lot of destruction to the people living near that quarry without compensating them. These are the things that we really need to look at. Even when---"

Kwa hivyo, ni makosa kwa serikali zetu za kaunti kuchafua mazingira ambapo binadamu wanaishi. Utupaji wa takataka ni donda sugu katika kaunti nyingi. Ijapokuwa kwa sasa kuna vifaa vya kisasa ambavyo vinaweza kutumika kubadilisha takataka kuwa umeme, makaa ama kwa matumizi mengine, kaunti zetu zimekuwa na tabia ya kutupa takataka bila uangalizi wowote."
