    "content": "after, it will be Nandi and Kitui. We must stand up with one voice as the Parliament of the Republic of Kenya to condemn this in the strongest terms possible. Madam Deputy Speaker, it is sad. We have been told the schools have been closed; children are not going to school. I heard Sen. Waqo say that the same children who are not going to school will be examined together with the rest of the children who are continuing with their education now. How do you expect them to compete when they are out of school right now missing lessons? This must be brought to an end. I want to support the calls for deployment of the KDF. Sen. Wetangula put it very well when he said that there is a procedure to be followed in deploying the KDF. It is provided for in our Constitution under Article 241(3)(c) that it should be with the consent of Parliament. How long will it take to call Parliament? It is a day. This is an emergency. I have not heard the head of Government come out strongly on this matter. In fact, everything else should be stopped. You cannot talk of development when people are dying. All other Government activities must be stopped until this matter is arrested. Madam Deputy Speaker, I see my time is up. We condole with the people of Laikipia and may the souls of those who have left us rest in eternal peace."
