Hon. Speaker, first and foremost, I thank the Chairperson for the response, but after going through it, it is not satisfactory because these are obvious duties of police officers but the CS did not address in detail the questions I had raised. They have not responded the way I had asked. For example, in question No.1, I asked why the drivers are asked to pay the police officers in order to be provided with escort. In response, they have just told us the way the police provide escort. So, I would seek your indulgence, Hon. Speaker, to request the CS ...

Remember in this request for a statement that I was seeking here, three people have been killed on the way. There is no explanation as to the measures the Ministry is taking to ensure that these people get justice. So, through you, I request the Chairperson to go back to the CS and be given a satisfactory response. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Hon. Speaker, I thank the Chairman for having reported exactly what he was given but let me confess that that was just a very superficial answer. We all know that is what the police do but the facts on the ground are that there are myriads of roadblocks on the road. Those roadblocks are manned by policemen and they wait for these miraa lorries to extort money from them and these people just proceed to drive to their traps to be killed.

Hon. Speaker, on this particular incident, the fellow who was in the same lorry with the deceased is the one who coordinated with the attackers and told them that they were at such and such a spot. When they got there, they put him on a motorbike and ran away with him. When the police got hold of that person, they just told him to be reporting to the police station after every one week. They have not arrested him and yet he is the one who was coordinating with the attackers.

Ms. Kawiria, the lady who survived, was trapped in the vehicle from midnight to 9:00 a.m. when the others were already rotting outside there after being shot and the police had not come. Ms. Kawiria confessed to me that when those people came, they started looking for that man who was in the vehicle and put him on a motorbike. She saw it and reported that matter at Maua Police Station. What has the CS done to follow those leads to do justice to our people who were killed?

Hon. Speaker, the policemen never agree to go with these vehicles. They charge Kshs10,000 for a trip to Moyale and if you take two or three of them, you will have to pay Kshs30,000. So, how can you tell us that policemen are supposed to give us services and yet they are selling these services there? Hon. Speaker, I disagree with the Report.
