    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I rise, pursuant to Standing Order 48 (1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the ban of planting of maize in Nessuit, Njoro Sub-county, Nakuru County, by the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) state the legal provisions relied on by the Ministry in prohibiting residents of Nessuit in Njoro, Nakuru County, from planning maize; (2) explain how the ban complies with Article 43 (1) (c), 46 (1) (c), 47 (1), and 187 (1) of the Constitution, as well as the national Government functions of providing defence and police services as contained in the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution; (3) spell out measures, if any, put in place by the Government to compensate residents of Nessuit, who are largely farmers, from the effect of the ban, which has impacted on their livelihoods; (4) explain measures put in place by the Government to flash out criminals who use maize plantations as hideouts to cover for launching attacks on innocent civilians. Since this is an urgent matter, and it is the planting season in the area, I would wish that the matter be prosecuted as soon as possible. Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker."
