    "content": "The measures the Government is taking to address the resurgence of raids or conflicts among communities in Turkana East include the following: 1. Sharing of criminal intelligence reports with communities through the national government administrative officers. 2. Intensify security patrols and proactive policing along the common border with the neighbouring country. 3. Advising on the need to open up security roads by the Turkana County Government in order to reach inaccessible human settlements and grazing fields which are predisposed to bandit attacks. 4. Intensify patrols within affected and common boundaries by security personnel. 5. Conducting joint security operations to flash out bandits. 6. Conducting surveillance and early warning systems through situation reports and sharing of information about any impending attacks. 7. Endeavouring to recover stolen livestock with a view of handing them back to the rightful owners through community elders. 8. Engaging respective local leaders and elders in holding regular peace meetings to prevail upon communities to desist from retaliatory attacks, raids and embracing peaceful co-existence. 9. Posting of specialised units within the affected areas. 10. Holding joint county security and intelligence committee meetings. Hon. Speaker, despite the recent bandit attacks and raids by suspected Pokot from the neighbouring county, Turkana East Sub-County has remained relatively calm as a result of intensified patrols conducted by uniformed units. Cases of cattle rustling in the recent past have drastically reduced due to increased patrols by security agents. The Turkana Community is not an innocent bystander in the security incidents. Some members of the community have also engaged in aggressive activities against their neighbours. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to submit."
