The Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, Hon. Onesimus Kipchumba Murkomen, appeared before the Senate plenary to respond to a statement sought by Senator Eddy Oketch (Migori) regarding the death of Mr. Albert Omondi Ojwang while in police custody.

National Assembly Speaker Rt. Hon. Moses Masika Wetang’ula has directed the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security to table a preliminary report and statement in the House on Thursday at 2:30 PM. 

The report is expected to update the House and the nation on the progress of investigations into the tragic death of Albert Ojwang.

The directive followed concerns raised by lawmakers, led by Nyando MP Hon. Jared Okello, who described the matter as grave and urgent.

A long-running land dispute in Siaya County has escalated to the national stage, with the Senate and the Office of the Ombudsman now involved in a case that pits a local resident, Mr. Francis Otieno Otieno, against the County Government of Siaya over alleged destruction of sugarcane crops.

The Senate Committee on Roads chairman, Sen. Eddy Oketch implored, “This is a serious matter and we should find solution since the Governor is in this meeting.”
