"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you order me to answer the Question again, I will do so. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) On 27th October, 2011, at about 8.30 a.m., the late James Waweru, the late Yusuf Godana, the Principal of Lafey Secondary School; the late Hassan Sheikh Ali, an ex-councillor and the late Birik Mohamed, were on board Motor Vehicle KAT 966Y, Toyota Hillux Surf, driving from Lafey to Mandera to collect Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) Physics examination apparatus. In their company were Messrs. Abdi Mohamed Aden, Hare Gulo and two Kenya Police Reservists, who were escorting the vehicle. It was while they were driving between Lafey and Fino, about 120 kilometres East of Mandera Police Station, that they came into an ambush laid by about 20 armed men believed to be members of Al Shabaab who had crossed from Somalia. The two police reservists alighted from the motor vehicle to confirm who had blocked the road. However, before they could verify, they were shot at and an exchange of fire ensued. The assailant fired a rocket propelled grenade at the motor vehicle, killing the occupants instantly and destroying the vehicle completely. The two police reservists suffered injuries and were later treated and discharged."

There is not a single cent that has been paid by this Ministry to the families of the deceased in support of the burial. The coffin was also paid for by the family. Indeed, even there was no vehicle. Even the aircraft was just going to pick the examination. It had to go round the whole of northern Kenya, but finally, it brought the body. Why is he giving wrong information on a matter that is sensitive of this nature?"

"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am not misleading this House. I have a letter written to my Ministry. It is dated 10th November. It states as follows:- Find below a summary of the assistance provided by the Government through the District Education Officer, Lafey District, to the late Yusuf Gadacha and the Principal, Lafey Secondary School; the late Hassan A. Mohammed. It says as follows:- “The District Commissioner’s vehicle transported the body from the scene of accident to Mandera Police Station. A police vehicle from Mandera transported the body to Mandera Hospital Mortuary. The District Education Officer, Mandera East, provided the coffin. A chartered plane by the Kenya National Examination Council airlifted the body from Mandera to Nanyuki Airbase. Government vehicles from the Ministry of Livestock Development and an ambulance from Merti District Hospital transported the body from Nanyuki to Merti, Isiolo County for burial on 30th October, 2011. The Ministry of Education officers from North Eastern Province and Ministry headquarters are making arrangements to visit and console the family after the national examinations are over. The Ministry will give the family Kshs20,000 each for funeral expenses and pay the death gratuity. The Ministry normally caters for the death announcement in the newspapers, but this was not done because he was buried hurriedly. For the Principal of Lafey Secondary School, the late Hassan Ali Mohammed, he was buried immediately at the point of death according to Islamic religious rules. The Teachers Service Commission will pay death gratuity to the family.” Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is the letter confirming the expenses from the Ministry of Education. I wish to table the letter from the Ministry of Education for ease of reference."
