To the people of Homabay County and all Kenyans at large, we mourn with you for the lose of Senator Kajwang. The people of Tiatiy Constituency of Baringo County and the Pokot Community at large,mourn him most today. While contributing to my bill (National Police Service (Amendment) Bill, 2014), which proposes that KPR be recruited and paid salary, this is what Senator kajwang said (from Senate Hansard of 18/11/14) second last paragraph of his contribution, and I quote verbatim: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, before my time runs out i want to say this, please, if the Executive listens to us, remove the army from the Pokot Country. This is not good for the country, for the community and even in the long run for our country that every time we have a problem, we use the army. It brutalizes a community. In fact it impoverishes them and destroys their economy. I saw that somebody ordered the killing of cattle. Cattle were shot, not by a bomb, if it were a bomb we would have said that it landed there wrongly but these were our own army officers shooting cattle. That is to destroy an economy. I understand that the commanding officer comes from the commandants community. I understand that the commanding officer is a Njemp, a small community in the Samburu tribe. In fact, some cattle have been seen in his own compound. I do not know why he should take other peoples cattle and keep them in his compound where he is commanding an operation. This kind of person should be taken to jail. What a man!, we have lost a Patriotic Kenyan. RIP by brother Senator Gerald Kajwang, and Poleni to his family and the people of Homabay County.
