"content": "An inter-ministerial agency led by Ministry of Interior and National Administration should implement a comprehensive development plan for the remote areas of the North. The Ministry of Roads and Transport in liaison with the Interior should construct security roads across the entire North Rift Region to connect all the six counties across the Kerio and Malaso Valleys. The Ministry of Interior and National Administration should investigate allegations raised by residents and county governments of Samburu and Turkana, especially on the issue involving Tiaty Constituency. The report is there and the points have been well laid out. The final two recommendations are as follows: the Government should establish a compensation mechanism to support the affected families who have lost their loved ones, properties and livestock. This will help them resume their socio-economic activities and rebuild their lives in the aftermath of the conflict. Finally, the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, in collaboration with the Ministry of Lands, should develop administrative mechanisms to resolve the persistent boundary disputes between the affected counties and undertake clear demarcation. This document provides the body of a working document for the House and also for the Committee to continuously engage the Ministry and actors in the security sector and also our populations. That way, going forward, these issues can be resolved rapidly and communities be brought together. I must say that we are grateful that this Government, unlike the previous administration, has taken the bull by it's horns by making sure that the guns go silent in the North Rift, people are not unnecessarily displaced, and schools are not unnecessarily closed. Many schools are being opened and security is, generally, improving with the deployment of the NPRs. With those many remarks, I request the Hon. Member for Narok West to second."

"content": " 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 putting in a lot of its valuable time and commitment into this inquiry, which took about five or six months. We all know that it was not an easy job. The terrain in a majority of these counties is just unimaginable. They demonstrated a lot of commitment and dedication. At some point, one of the Committee members, Hon. Ng’elechei, was in Turkana and went for three or four days without food and water. I remember her calling me saying that she had never imagined it was as hard as she witnessed. I appreciate every individual member of the Committee. The quorum was overwhelming. They showed dedication. The Secretariat gave their best throughout the inquiry. I appreciate the Clerk and the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Regional Commissioner and the respective county security teams of the six counties. Every time we visited the counties, the security teams were always available to us during public participation when we were listening to the communities. They gave whichever support we needed of them. I also appreciate the communities which were so welcoming, hospitable and cooperative to members of the Committee. I appreciate the non-State actors who were always available to give any support that was needed of them. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the inquiry took place in August 2023 and April 2024. A majority of the recommendations, either by individual counties or general recommendations, proposed creation of several administrative units to take services closer to the people. Much has already been done, and I appreciate the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "Members from Baringo and Elgeyo Marakwet counties, including Hon. Ng’elechei, can confirm that some recommendations, including creation of administrative units and operationalisation of others, have already taken place. This has helped a great deal. During the Presidential Address to the nation, it was reported that the entire North Rift and other parts of the country had experienced the fruits of the intervention by the Ministry of Interior and National Administration and the Kenya-Kwanza government. There is recorded a reduction of 70 per cent in insecurity, which is very commendable. Last week and last week but one, there were some incidents especially in Baringo North and Elgeyo Marakwet but we should appreciate, if we take a 360-degree outlook, the bigger picture. There is commendable reduction in insecurity in that region. To a larger extent, that is attributed to continued effort by the Ministry and security agencies. Modernisation has enabled security officers to have modern equipment which has given them more advantage in combating crimes. There are a lot of continuous development programmes, including opening up security roads in the affected regions. This should continue to be advanced. I do not want to belabour the point. The Vice-Chairman already said it all. Many of individual-county recommendations are captured in the Report. I call on all Members in this House to take time to study and read it. By going through it, you will look for ways in which leaders in those regions and in this country can play a role to make security a priority. For example, we should continue building schools to reduce the issue of illiteracy. Because of time, I will just mention a few general recommendations that the Committee indicated in the Report, which we were convinced that if addressed, can go a long way to help us combat…"

We cannot exhaust the Report. One thing that stands out is that we should have a whole-of-Government approach so that we can address the issue of insecurity, not just in the North Rift, but in the rest of the country. We will continue to operationalise several administrative units that have even been highlighted in this Report. Last week, we had a meeting with the Ministry and we made it very clear that we should mobilise resources to the tune of about Ksh2.5 billion so that we can operationalise all pending administrative units that can help us tackle insecurity."
