Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to what my colleagues have already said. I commend the Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC) , led by its very able Chairman, Hon. Samuel Atandi, for a job...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, thank you for your indulgence. We are all aware that a Bill addressing the issue of village elders is already before this House. It was sponsored by the late Hon. Malulu, but I took it over. We want to legislate to...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for your consideration.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Ordinarily, after giving the response, I had expected Members to react in the manner in which they have done. Nevertheless, I appreciate the interest in this. Given the urgency of the matter, I may need a week to respond....

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker, but the issue of DNA may not necessarily wait until we have the response for the rest of the item. We are already on it. We will see whether we can do it even this week by Friday. We already...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Yes, in a week. However, we are already addressing the urgent issue.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is true he assigned the issue to a colleague. All the same, the response is not ready, but I have been promised by the Ministry that it would be ready by tomorrow.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) The response is ready, Hon. Temporary Speaker. (Hon. Samuel Gachobe raised his hand)

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Yes, I can confirm he is in the House, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. With regard to your guidance, I will table the two that I have for the record before I respond to Hon. Sunkuli’s. I have a response for the Member for Kisii County, Hon. Dorice Donya, regarding the tragic death...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you very much.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What you have said is true. I am ready with about three or so responses to requests for statements. I need your guidance because I am only seeing one Member, the Member for Kilgoris, in the House. I can...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Well guided, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to respond as follows. The question is from the Member for Kilgoris, Hon. Julius Sunkuli, who sought in particular a statement regarding the land clashes in Angata Barrikoi. The Member of Parliament wanted a report on who...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not have that one ready.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Before I respond, it is worth noting that I am also a Member of Parliament in Narok County, in addition to serving as the Chair of this Committee. My two colleagues also hail from Narok. The people of Angata...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Ng’eno is a high-ranking Member in this House who knows the rules and procedures. It is just fair that he allows me to finish. He will have the time to ask the necessary questions. I was on the...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) On the issue of the use of live ammunition, from the response I read by the Cabinet Secretary, it is very clear that no individual or institution explicitly authorised the use of live ammunition. I think that should go on record. The Statement is...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Okay, thank you. I will table it. (Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo tabled the response)

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Yes.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As you have stated, the House recalls that yesterday during the afternoon session, you instructed Hon. Nanok and I to visit Hon. Koimburi so that we can furnish the House with information. We did exactly as you directed, and we...

Hon Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Yes.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Nark West, UDA) I am well guided, Hon. Speaker. I managed to talk to him just an hour ago. There are still a lot of leads leading to more arrests and interrogations. Therefore, give us another week or so.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, we will give a response the first week after we return from recess.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Yes. Nevertheless, we had discussed with the concerned Member that I reach the Inspector-General of police to see whether he can intervene, considering that the recess is a little bit long.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Knowing the importance and sensitivity of this matter, we will respond immediately on resumption from recess. Having said that, I want to join…

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) This is the response to the statement sought by the Member of Parliament for Likuyani Constituency, Hon. Innocent Mugabe, on the clashes between the police and the residents of Likuyani constituency. In particular, the Member of Parliament sought the following information: 29th April 2025...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will issue a response in the first week of resumption after recess.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I am much obliged, Hon. Speaker. However, just give me a minute to say something. I want to join my colleague, Hon. Sunkuli, in sending my condolences to the families who lost their loved ones. The preliminary report is that five lives of locals...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) One was at the request of Hon. Daniel Manduku, and another one was made by Hon. Ali Wario, who was in the meeting with the Cabinet Secretary. There is also another one by Hon. Victor Koech. I kindly ask for your indulgence to table...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Nimeskia, Mhe. Spika. I have given the response as presented to us by the Ministry. I can seek clarification on the raised issue.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) They died, Hon. Speaker. From the response given by the Ministry, they died. I think the incomplete part is the issue of police officers being arraigned in Court. It is probably waiting for the ballistic analysis report to confirm the rifle that discharged the...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I associate myself with the sentiments of the Hon. Members. It is fair enough to say that police officers are also human beings. They are fathers and have wives. It is easy to condemn police officers when they are in the wrong...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, with your permission, before I respond to this request, I have three other statements that were responded to by the Cabinet Secretary when he appeared before the Committee.
