    "content": "THAT, whereas the State is obligated to guarantee the security of the people, it has become apparent that the Government operatives in Samburu North Constituency are negligent and reluctant to provide security and protection to the residents; THAT, despite the presence of many security agencies in the area, the Government did not provide alternative security arrangements following the disarmament of the local national police reservists who had previously played a critical role of providing security and safeguarding the lives of the people and their livestock; THAT, the state of security in the region has deteriorated so much and caused loss of lives, displacement of families and closure of schools and has left many people in dire need of shelter and food; THAT, the audacity, brutality and the precision with which these vicious attacks are being carried out seem to indicate that this banditry is by well-organised groups, perhaps with an elaborate support system; THAT, there has been a spate of disturbing cases of insecurity over the last few months which include the following: (a) On 3rd February 2022, bandits attacked innocent boda boda riders in Suyian and killed four people. (b) On 2nd February 2022, bandits attacked Natiti Village near KDF grazing ground, stole about 50 cattle and killed one person. (c) On 28th January 2022, bandits raided a manyatta near the PCEA church in Baragoi Town and stole an unknown number of goats and one person sustained gunshot injuries. (d) On 12th and 19th January, bandits fired randomly within the Baragoi Township and their motive was not known. (e) On 18th January 2022, bandits raided Lomirok, took off with over 1,000 goats and killed one person with just about over 180 being recovered. (f) On 6th January 2022, bandits attacked a security patrol team within Baragoi Town and damaged a police patrol motor vehicle. (g) Sometimes in January, again, bandits attacked herders in Tuum Village and stole 60 cows and no recovery has been made so far. (h) On 13th December 2021, bandits stole 17 goats near the Kenya Power offices with deaths and injuries reported. (i) On 24th November 2021, bandits raided Kilepoi Village and stole 25 goats. (j) On 14th November 2021, a shooting incident by bandits was reported within Baragoi Town. (k) On 25th October 2021, bandits attempted to raid Kawap Village but were repulsed by residents and security personnel. (l) On 13th October 2021, bandits raided Loilei near Mwalimu Street of Baragoi Town and stole two goats. THAT, leaders and local residents in the region have raised these matters with relevant State agencies through letters and physical meetings but no significant intervention has been made. THAT, if the state of security in Samburu North Constituency and surrounding areas is not stabilised, residents risk a continued loss of lives and disruption of their property. THAT, the issues in respect of this Petition are not pending before any court or any constitutional or legal body.
