    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to add my voice to this important Statement by Sen. Iman. I congratulate her for coming up with the Statement on our behalf. The killings in Marasabit County are getting out of hand and we are losing many people. Last night an old man was killed in front of his house and others were injured, which means that our security agencies are not in control. This is not the first time that a Statement on insecurity in Marsabit County or insecurity in Northern Kenya has been brought to this House. Statements have brought in this House yet nothing happens. No action has ever been taken. When I visited the injured in hospital, I was so touched. There was a woman who lying there with bullets in her body and her son, an eight year old, was next to her. There were several people in hospital and most of them were women who had left their young children at home. As if that was not enough, many women had actually been killed. Today, those children have no one to call their mother. We have been telling our Government that Marsabit County is bleeding. As we speak, no one knows who will die next. The war is no longer out of the town, but within the town and they are eliminating people, one by one. Marsabit County is home to over 14 ethnic groups and every group has equal rights. Unfortunately, the Government seems to have abandoned that part of the country. People are dying every evening and morning and nobody bothers of what will happen next. We, therefore, plead with the Government; the Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Matiang’i, and the security agencies on the ground, to protect peoples’ lives and their property. I support the Statement."
