Mumina Bonaya has taken the fight for citizens\u2019 rights and accountability to the National Assembly after formally seeking a statement over allegations of intimidation and harassment by security agencies in Isiolo County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a move underscoring her commitment to defending the rights and dignity of Isiolo residents, Mumina submitted a request seeking clarification from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding reported incidents involving security agencies in the county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The request specifically highlights an alleged raid at the residence of her mother, Ms. Halima Golo Bonaya, in Kiwanjani, Isiolo County, as well as reported arrests and concerns over possible political interference in security operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mumina has called for an independent investigation to establish the facts surrounding the reported incidents and ensure that any wrongdoing is addressed in accordance with the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her intervention reflects the critical oversight role played by elected representatives in ensuring that security operations are conducted professionally, lawfully and without infringing on the fundamental rights of citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the elected representative of Isiolo County, Mumina has reaffirmed her determination to use her constitutional mandate to raise public concerns, demand answers from relevant authorities and ensure that the voices of her constituents are heard at the highest levels of government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She maintains that security agencies have an important responsibility to protect citizens, preserve public order and uphold the law, while ensuring that their operations remain within the boundaries of the Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The legislator has also emphasised that every citizen deserves to live in peace and security, free from unlawful intimidation, harassment or actions that undermine their dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her appeal for an independent investigation places the focus on establishing the truth, safeguarding the rule of law and ensuring accountability wherever evidence of wrongdoing is found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mumina\u2019s action further demonstrates the importance of parliamentary oversight in addressing matters of public concern, particularly where allegations touch on civil liberties, the conduct of security agencies and the relationship between law enforcement and local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By formally presenting the matter before the National Assembly, the Isiolo Woman Representative is seeking an institutional response rather than allowing the allegations to remain unresolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She has maintained that justice must be pursued without fear or favour and that the rights of all citizens must be protected irrespective of their political affiliations or social standing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the matter awaits consideration through the relevant parliamentary processes, the requested statement is expected to provide an opportunity for the responsible authorities to clarify the reported incidents and outline any action taken or proposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Mumina, the central issue remains the protection of Isiolo residents and the need to ensure that every security operation respects the Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her message is clear: the rule of law must prevail, citizens\u2019 rights must be protected, and accountability must be pursued wherever wrongdoing is established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isiolo Woman Representative Hon.
