"content": " Well guided, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to respond as follows. The question is from the Member for Kilgoris, Hon. Julius Sunkuli, who sought in particular a statement regarding the land clashes in Angata Barrikoi. The Member of Parliament wanted a report on who authorised police officers to use live ammunition against the citizens; why the land registrar and the surveyors went to survey the land belonging to the people of Angata Barrikoi without their consent; why the Ministry retains police officers in Lolgorian Police Station beyond their useful period, and whether they are serving special interests; and what interest is being served. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Government regrets the event that happened in Narok County and wishes to condole with the families that lost their loved ones during the unfortunate skirmishes on the 28th April 2025. We pray for quick recovery for the injured. The parcel of land known as Transmara/Moyoi/2, located in Transmara South, has been the subject of protracted dispute both within the courts and through informal channels. The land in question measures approximately 6,325 acres. The ownership of the land was formally registered under the Angata Cooperative Society following an adjudication process that commenced in 1976. However, 88 land titles arising from a subsequent adjudication process in 1986 were found to overlap with a portion of Moyoi 2. This overlap sparked a series of legal disputes which escalated to the Court of Appeal. The matter was eventually withdrawn from court and resolved amicably through mutual consent among the litigants. This resolution is documented in a Court of Appeal ruling dated 24th October 2024. According to the ruling, approximately 1,500 acres were allocated to the Kipsigis community comprising about 624 individuals, while the remaining portion, 4,825 acres, was retained by Angata Cooperative Society comprising the members of the Maasai community. The settlement marked a significant milestone in addressing the long-standing tension in the area paving the way for peace, hope, and lasting tranquility. The same Court of 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": "Appeal ruling directed the registrar and the county surveyor to implement their terms of consent within 30 days. On 28th, the fateful day, during a planned demarcation of the land in question, a confrontation ensued between members of the public, land officers, and the police. In the process, five lives were unfortunately lost, several people including police and land officers were injured and six vehicles were torched. On the use of lethal and non-lethal force, police officers are guided by national laws, National Police Service Standing Orders and international human rights standards. Generally, the use of force is expected to be proportional to the threat posed, necessary under the circumstances, and accountable under the law. No individual or institution explicitly authorises the use of live ammunition against an unarmed citizen. However, officers are trained and empowered to assess the situation and respond appropriately in real time. Live ammunition is regarded as a last resort, a force only to be used when an officer or another individual faces an imminent threat to life or serious injury, when non-lethal options have failed or are deemed insufficient to neutralise a lethal threat. The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) is currently investigating the incident. Any police officer found culpable will be dealt with according with the law. As the investigation gets underway, we have taken administrative measures and redeployed all police officers in the sub-county, including the Sub-County Police Commander, the Sub-County Criminal Investigation Officer, Officer Commanding Station (OCS) and Deputy County Commissioner (DCC)."
