10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, if one or few of these Kenya Police Reservists die in the course of duty; defending a particular location, why can the Government not compensate them? For example, early this year, a gentleman fiercely fought some AlShabaab militants in Gerile Location but unfortunately, he was killed. He left behind a wife and seven children and they do not have anything to eat. Why can the Government not compensate the families of these officers when they die in the course of duty?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have not seen any compensation or any indication of afforestation or tree planting. We have not been a party to the meeting on 24th July, 2012.

So, we are not party to any of these UN and Government negotiations and meetings. Is the Minister in order to be talking about other districts instead of Wajir South District?
