"content": "They were targeted, killed and not a single coin or livestock was taken from those people. In both cases, a father and a son among others were killed. They wanted to totally exterminate these people from the face of the earth. This is the case and yet this Government has not done anything up to now. Gabbras are a minority in Moyale and they only have one elected councillor and maybe one or two assistant chiefs, and yet this Assistant Minster stands here and says that this is not a case where a dominant community is exterminating the minority in that county. It is because of this incident and similar crisis that we had the Turbi Massacre and as a result we lost five Members of Parliament from that county in 2005 and that is what is just about to happen. This Government, up to today, has not done anything tangible for those people to see that it actually cares about the people of Marsabit County. I was there two days ago with hon. Mahamud and the people of Moyale. The area DC did not even attend that peace meeting; he did not even care when the elders were trying to reconcile and yet he is still there. There is nothing being done to stop the massacre happening in Moyale. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, finally, as he was speaking, he said that investigations are being done. There is not even a single CID Office in Moyale District. I was there two days ago with the Provincial security team for Eastern Province. Hon. Mahamud was with me and I can testify that not a single officer from the Criminal Investigation Department is undertaking the investigations. As of yesterday, three people were killed and two were severely injured later on. We do not know what will happen tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. This Minister and this Government are responsible for that massacre."

"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is, indeed, a very sad day for those of us who come from Marsabit County. We worked tirelessly with my friend, hon. Chachu, for the three years we have been in Parliament, running into the fourth year now, looking for peace. The journey towards peaceful co-existence between our communities has not been easy. It is painful to see all these efforts wasted all of a sudden because of some sadists who do not have the interest of peace and who do not have any regard for life. It is equally sad when the Government, which is supposed to be the custodian of peace in the whole nation, is not taking charge of the responsibility bestowed to it. When the incident at the Funanyata happened, it was very sad."

"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, my clarification is--- I know you are under pressure. However, I seek your indulgence because this matter is very sensitive. You will recall the kind of massacre we experienced and we need to get to the bottom of this matter. Time and again, I have written, personally, to the Ministry asking for beefing up of security in certain locations by appointing police reservists. If the people of Adadi Sub-location had police reservists, because they saw the eight people who committed these crimes, they would have intercepted them. After waiting for the Government for too long and having given up, the Constituencies Development Fund office in Moyale has built Administration Police posts. Up to now Administration Police officers have not been posted to the posts. Why is this the case? It is because the Government is dragging its feet. Following the dispute in Ethiopia, which I am told the Ethiopian Government has contained now, 60 illegal guns are in Moyale today. The 60 illegal guns are the ones which were used to massacre the three innocent lives at Odha yesterday morning. The DC was informed and he has dragged his feet up to today; nothing has been done by the Government. When will the Government repatriate those foreigners to their country? Why has it taken too long? I suspect, as much as there have been chaos in Ethiopia--- It does not convince me at all that they could just come and target those people there. Some people have prepared to cause anarchy and make Moyale or the county generally unmanageable. There are clear leads which the Government - if it is serious – can follow and bring the culprits to book. We are not convinced as Members of Parliament from that region and we are not prepared to allow our people to go the same route that they went. We are going into an election year; 2012 is just next door. Some people are prepared to cause anarchy and in the confusion wish to benefit. We will not sit down and watch as this unfolds. As Mr. Chachu, the Member for North Horr said, the DC was invited after the first incidence to come and preside over a peace meeting. The DC did not attend. We were told when the PC was there, two days ago, that both communities were in agreement on that. If this Government is serious, that DC should not have spent a night the following day in Moyale because it is volatile. We are not prepared to see our people massacred again. We need you to do something urgently. We need you to convince us. There are other issues where some people have taken the lives of innocent people for granted. There are civil servants who are not doing their job properly. What is the Assistant Minister and the Government by extension doing?"

It is not true that we do not have a CID officer on the ground. As we are talking, we have more than one CID Officer."
