    "content": "Hon. Speaker, on Thursday 8th July 2021, Hon. Dido Rasso, MP Saku, requested for a Statement on the militia attacks and killings in Saku and Isiolo counties and in particular sought to be informed on the following: 1. The powerful individuals cited to be involved in mobilising, funding and sustaining the milita attacks and what efforts were being made to bring them to justice; 2. What measures the Government was undertaking to eliminate the militia and restore security in Saku Constituency, Moyale and Isiolo and how many of these perpetrators have been arrested and successfully prosecuted since 2018; and 3. What efforts were being made to recover the stolen livestock which were raided in the full glare of security forces and what efforts have been made to compensate and support families for the loss of their livelihood. As I give a response to this particular request for Statement and the one that will follow, both touching on security issues, it is also good to let the House know that I have scheduled a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary to be held on Friday this week. He is to address us on the general state of containment of insecurity in the country given the number of petitions, Questions and issues of insecurity that have been raised by Members. During that meeting, we also expect to get the county report on peace building from the National Peace Building Secretariat, which is domiciled in the State Department of Interior and Coordination of National Government. We will also be told of the state of preparedness of the country in terms of security in the forthcoming general election. It will be a two days’ engagement out of which I will then generate a Report and bring to this House."
