Gabriel Koshal Tongoyo

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 respond to his and the rest...

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 of Sylvia Kemunto and the escalating...

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 authorised police officers to use live...

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 second question on why the land...

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

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 Barikoi are my great friends and...

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 here. I will table it in...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not have that one ready. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Would you like to table on record? Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) : Unfortunately, it is listed, but I do not have that response. I have the one for Mogotio.

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

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.

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 have a report from our visit...

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) 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. I will issue a response in the first week of resumption after recess.

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) Yes, I will, Hon. Speaker. 29th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 22

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) Hon. Speaker, I am ready. 29th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 25

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.

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) Yes.

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) Hon. Speaker, the measures include deploying non-lethal equipment, improving command and control, and enhancing public engagement and community policing. 29th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 27 Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA)Regarding the question on steps being taken by the Ministry to compensate the...

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) Hon. Speaker, first, I appreciate that…

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, I just want a clarification. I think the request for Statement is misplaced. According to our Standing Order, this request for Statement should be referred to the Regional Integration Committee. The issue of Shirika Plan had been taken away from my Committee.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) It is under Hon. Peter Lochakapong’s committee. There is confusion. Just as the issue of prisons falls under the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee, this is under Hon. Peter Lochakapong. He can confirm the same.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I will deliver as you have directed. I also want to ride on what Hon. Wangare has talked about on her proposed Bill. It is a very important Bill that speaks to this issue. I am sure it will help us address...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was saying that as we seek for a response to this request for a Statement, we should appreciate the issuance of identification cards. You know, it is the same Hon. Member who asked about identification cards processing fee. The...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, we will bring it within two weeks. I also want to report to the House that we are considering the number of Statements 17th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 7 Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA)already issued. We see it fit to...

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

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) No, Hon. Speaker. He will appear before the Committee.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I have confirmed that the Cabinet Secretary will appear before the Committee on Tuesday, 22nd April 2025. We will lump all the requests for Statements together so that he can respond to all of them.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to say something about this. As earlier indicated, the sponsor of the Bill is the Leader of the Majority Party. Having considered the Members' deliberations, we need a little more time to reach more consensus on the same....

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I will only take a minute. Hon. Speaker, it has been confirmed that the issue of sub-counties or administrative units is generally a big issue for almost every Member here. It is a question that keeps coming up every other time. Immediately we took...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Unless we conduct a Kamukunji like how we prioritise the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) , we will still have the same problem every time. I implore this House to look for a way, even if it means we have a Kamukunji to...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On behalf of the Committee, I commend my very able Vice-Chairman for he has moved it exceedingly well on behalf of all of us. From the outset, I appreciate the entire Committee, which also includes yourself, for...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for your understanding. I have just said that I do not want to belabour the point. The Vice-Chairperson has said it all. We cannot exhaust the Report. One thing that stands out is that we should have...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA)Sorry. I, therefore, second.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As much as I really want to appreciate what the Member for Baringo North is saying on who is behind insecurity and killings, it is not the role of the President or the Cabinet Secretary whatsoever. We just have...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, we can do that immediately after we resume from the short recess.

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

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) We can do the same when we resume from recess two weeks from now.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I seek your indulgence on this matter. You can recall that a question akin to this one has arisen in every sitting we have had. For the record, as I mentioned earlier, we have already scheduled a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I seek your indulgence, having listened keenly to the request from the Member. Just yesterday, the Head of State, who is the President, pronounced that identity cards will be issued for free. He made that directive because he...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, it is good that the information is on record.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to respond to the question by the said Hon. Member regarding insecurity in Kirinyaga County. This is a report on the status of the investigation into the killing of a minor, Ms Stacy Nyakio Kinyua, and Mr Peter...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Not really, Hon. Speaker. The issue was that they had stayed there for too long until they got a lot of familiarity. That was the request put across by then, but I agree with you. They had overstayed. That is why the policy is...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am happy because the Member confirmed that we got an opportunity to interrogate the Inspector-General of Police. From the Statement he sought, some issues were not captured. The issue of the rogue officer was raised when the Inspector-General of...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Our officers are on top of things despite the challenges. We are going to make sure that they continue to serve Kenyans accordingly.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, thank you so much. I do not want to belabour what Members have already said. You remember yesterday during the afternoon session that this topic of sub-county and administrative units came up strongly. I indicated in this House that in this...
