    "content": " Thank you, Hon. 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 banditry attacks and killings in Isiolo County. Hon. Speaker, the insecurity situation in Isiolo County has escalated and reached alarming levels. The residents of Isiolo County can no longer participate in meaningful economic activities due to fear of banditry attacks. The attacks have resulted in loss of lives, loss of livestock and destruction of property. Over the last one month alone, several incidences have been reported to authorities but no action has been taken by the Government. The incidences are as follows: 1. On 1st June 2021, a raid took place at an area called Chaffa Gafarsa where 500 goats belonging to one Sugow Mohamed were stolen. 2. On 12th June 2021, a raid took place at the same area where five persons namely Idriss Godana, Galgalo Wario, Abdulahi Nuno, Ali Yarrow and Abdikadir Nurrow were killed and 800 goats belonging to Nurrow Kullow and Galle Bulle were stolen. 3. On 12th June 2021, five people were killed in an attack at Buffalo Springs. 4. On 23rd June 2021, another attack took place at a place called Mado Wale where five people, including three women, were killed. Those people are Hadija Kosar, Sharu Boru, Molle Hussein, Shararo Abdi and Abdiaziz Adbi. They were killed and a generator was burnt to ashes. 5. On the same day, another raid took place at an area called Kom where 60 goats belonging to one Guyo Bagaja were stolen. 6. On 25th June 2021, another raid took place at a place called Boji Dera where one person namely Alio Mohamed was killed and three people namely Ali Adan, Yussuf Wario and Rashid Roba were injured. Hon. Speaker, the continued laxity by the security agencies in Isiolo County and its neighbouring counties has seen loss of many lives and livestock, which is a source of livelihood for the majority of the population. Therefore, urgent intervention from the Government is required to end those clan attacks. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on the following: 1. What measure is the Government taking to address the resurgence of raids and banditry in Isiolo County? 2. What efforts are being put in place to arrest the perpetrators of the recent attacks and recover the stolen animals? Hon. Speaker, we know those attacks are well planned, coordinated and even at some point, financed by the Government. Therefore, our heart is bleeding."
