    "content": "Since these heinous acts have taken place for so many years, has this Government taken an initiative to find out the proper reasons including those that the Senator from Narok County mentioned? It is very clear that the Government is only reacting on situations without having taken time to research and find out the causes of these fighting. The Government is just seated, waiting for this place to arise and then after three or four days, they simply deploy security personnel to those places. It is unfortunate. Madam Temporary Speaker, my friend, Sen. Cherargei was at the funeral of Sen. Prengei. While we were still hearing the sermon from the preacher, we were shocked to see about four lorries of GSU deployed in the funeral, but they are unable to deploy the same to Laikipia County to save lives. It is sad. The Rift Valley Regional Commissioner, Mr. Natembeya, has been always busy deploying security personnel to funerals, weddings and other functions. Now, he is unable to counter the attacks in that place. He has been going to the villages telling Kipsigis to do family planning because they are giving birth to many children, yet we have never gone to his place to beg for food. He should understand that. Here comes a serious issue and he is unable to face it. He has been reduced to be part of the media where he is now announcing what is happening and how many lives we have lost, instead of acting. It is quite unfortunate for such a particular person. This banditry has caused many challenges in this place during this time of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Children are not going to school, lives are being lost, economic activities are declining and livestock is being stolen by cattle rustlers. Enmity is building up as we approach the elections. I would like to request the Committee in charge of this matter, to call a Committee of the Whole House and invite the CS for Interior and Coordination of National Government. He should come and tell us exactly what he has put in place as a proactive measure to prevent the same in future. Otherwise, sitting here in Nairobi City County and watching people die---"
