    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I seek to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding the resurgence of raids and killings in Kapedo area in Turkana East Constituency. Since the security operation was stopped at Kapedo area, there has been a resurgence of raids and killings of innocent civilians by armed bandits from Tiaty, Baringo County and Sigor, in West Pokot County. Several incidents have been reported and nothing has been done by the authorities. Just to mention a few, on 12th March 2021, a raid took place at Riet Village where three people were killed namely, Ekatapan Loyolel, Lowoi Loyolel and Etelek Loyolel. In the said incident, 3,000 sheep, 127 cows and 57 camels were taken. On 30th April 2021, a raid at Ngilukia was reported and two people namely, Ekale Kakinor and Eturen Lochamy were killed while Umana Lokwawi was injured. On 4th May 2021, one person again was injured while 340 goats were stolen at Lokori, 100 meters from Lokori GSU Camp. On 15th May 2021, one Ekalale Lopusngóle was killed while over 2,400 goats and 70 cows were taken at Riet area. On 3rd June 2021 again, a raid happened at Lomelo and two people namely, Lomoit Long’or and Long’or Ebunu were killed, while three others were seriously injured. On 7th June 2021, a raid was conducted at Lopii where two children were kidnapped but later rescued, 127 camels, 4,000 goats and 60 head of cattle were taken. All the security vehicles in Turkana East, an armored personnel carrier, were destroyed by the bandits. The bandits also caused injury to one of the police officers. There have been no efforts so far made to apprehend the bandits and recover the stolen livestock. This has become a normal business."
