    "content": " Hon. Speaker, this is very disturbing. You heard Hon. Kaluma last week talking about 28 days. Now the Chairman is talking about 21 days. You ruled from your Chair, Hon. Speaker, after a very lengthy back and forth between Hon. Kaluma and I. Unless the Chairman is challenging your ruling, you made a ruling that because of the situation on the ground, we will not wait for 28 days or 21 days. The situation on the ground is bad. This Member does not know what he is talking about. He is being lied to. He is being misinformed by the security people. If we have a Member of this Committee who represents a constituency like myself talking the way he is talking, then we are in trouble as a legislature. There is an attack on pastoralism. It is an attack on our way of life. We did not choose to be born in Tiaty. I wish we were born elsewhere where we would grow cotton or maize or something else. We keep cattle because of the nature of the terrain. Now the police are killing livestock and people with wanton abandon. You heard Hon. Kaluma saying that the matter that was being discussed when I appeared before the Committee last week was about Marsabit. It was not the Tiaty matter. And the Chairman knows. I appeared before that Committee and I was asked to say a few words, which I did, and I was told to go away. I never got a response from the Cabinet Secretary. It, is, therefore, not in order for the Chairman to take these matters as casually as he is. You cannot hide under the word “security” and the police are continuing to blockade roads. People are not able to travel, there is curfew in the entire constituency and everything is at a 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."
