• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I will answer part one of the Question by the Member for Nyakach. We followed through our commitment to investigate the security situation in Sondu area at the border of Kisumu and Kericho counties. That area is prone to recurrent violence. I agree with the Member for Nyakach that the latest surge of violence in October was regrettable. When we made an inquiry, we found out that there was laxity among our officers who had command responsibility in that area. That is why we have taken measures to transfer them from that area. view

• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: I am happy to report to the House that we have made tremendous progress, in terms of zeroing in on the culprits of that violence.

The third part of the Question is on whether or not we have been able to zero in on the major masterminds, planners or orchestrators of this violence. I am happy to report that we have made tremendous progress. We will charge a number of people in the coming weeks. We have ... view

• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: Once we tame the ogre of violence and the people who have visited this violence on the residents of Sondu, taking advantage of boundary and revenue collection issues but basically committing crime... Once we are done with fixing the perpetrators, we will commence a peace building process in the next few days for sustainable peace in that area. We will talk to community leaders, elders, youth and women leaders, political leaders and leaders of all shapes and sizes to make sure that there is lasting peace. One of the things that our peace building units in our Ministry will pursue ... view

• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I returned from Lamu last night, particularly Mukunumbi and I was able to meet some stakeholders there from Juhudi Salama, Widho and other places that are part of this Question which the Member for Lamu County has asked me to respond to. Allow me to give this House the information that best answers the questions that have been raised but at the same time, I will be careful because terrorists also watch parliamentary proceedings. They watch the statements made by state officials as a way of getting information on what to do next. Such statements enable them to ... view

• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: bloodshed, loss of life and property and untold suffering by the people of Lamu, not only in the areas that have been listed in this Question, but also other parts of Lamu County. I have been asked to tell this House and the people of Kenya whether those attacks are targeted against a particular community or religious group. The answer is in the negative. Those attacks are attacks by criminals who hide behind religion while they themselves are not religious. They hide behind religion to hurt other people not just in Lamu County but also in other parts of our ... view
