    "content": "have a field day and they are killing people left, right and center. The police cannot match them because they lack will. That is why these incidents are escalating. In light of the above, I would urge the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government to ensure that the KPRs are armed after proper vetting. When we asked the county security team, they told us they have done the vetting and submitted the names. That was two years ago and it is still lying here and people are killing each other. For example, in the Songa area, there used to be ten KPRs who used to patrol that small route where people are killed. Up to now, you can see six killings have occurred in a period of one week. This is because the illegal gun holders know that there are no KPRs and no security escorting these people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to end by saying that at the list, the KPRs who used to patrol between Songa and Badasa, Hulahula and Karatina need to be rearmed. This is so that we can control security along those roads while we see what to do with the bigger picture of the other National Police Reservists (NPRs). It is not a small number. Maybe over 2000 NPRs used to be within the whole county and used to supplement security within the community. Now, we are at the mercy of the illegal gun holders with all those guns gone. That is my request. I also urge the people of Marsabit County to restrain themselves from being pulled into these conflicts by whoever is driving it. The Gabras and Boranas have been fighting and the Rendiles are being pulled in. What they want is that all the communities will now be fighting and by the time of elections, you will not know who is fighting who. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
