    "content": "Hon. Speaker, on 26th December 2020, Rawana Area in Sololo sub-county was raided and attacked by persons from Turbi sub-county where one boy in Form Three was injured and 26 cattle stolen. Similar raids and attacks also took place in January 2021 where 500 goats were stolen at Eli Bor and up to date no arrests of the attackers or any recoveries of the livestock has been made. Due to the rampant attacks and raids by cattle rustlers in the county, an entire village of 600 households in Funan Qumbi has been forced to move to Walda Division in Sololo Sub-county which is 30 kilometres away. This displacement has adversely affected and interfered with the economic activities and source of livelihoods for the residents of Funnan Idda and Funnan Qumbi areas. This has further led to the closures of schools and a humanitarian crisis in the area and the internally displaced persons are in dire need of food, water and housing among other social amenities. Hon. Speaker, it is of concern that among the reasons for displacement and attacks is to curve El Bor, El Dimtu, Funan Qumbi and Funan Idda in Sololo Sub-county into the newly created Turbi sub-county and surrounding areas for grazing, control and other purposes. It is on this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on the following: (i) Could the Chairperson state whether any investigations were carried out into the attacks on Funan Idda, Funan Qumbi and El Bor Areasin Moyale Constituency that led to loss of two lives, injuries, livestock theft and displacement of residents? (ii) What measures is the Government putting in place to ensure that schools in the affected areas are re-opened and displaced residents living in deplorable conditions are re-settled? (iii) What measures has been put in place by the Ministry to curb the increased cases of insecurity in Funan Idda, Funan Qumbi and El Bor in particular from external attackers? (iv) What action is the Ministry taking to ensure that administrative and security officers on the ground serve the residents of the two sub counties fairly and equitably without favour including proper coordination and sharing of information among themselves? (v) Could the Ministry consider clearly demarcating the administrative boundaries for all the sub-counties in Marsabit County and provision of enough personnel, offices and equipment to manage the increased cases of insecurity? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
