    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Petition by Hon. Alois. This cattle rustling and banditry has gone on in the country for close to two or three years, on and off. We have had several meetings on this case about Laikipia, Samburu, the Kerio Valley and Turkana. It seems like the security apparatus have been defeated by the bandits. Yesterday, we were waiting to see if those in charge of security would resign to go and campaign or do something else. Because the main business that they do is public relations. Last week, we had a meeting in Nakuru on the same issues of insecurity along the Kerio Valley, in Samburu and other areas. The security team promised that within two weeks they would do serious disarmament and get rid of the bandits. Yesterday evening as we were watching news, we saw children and mothers in Baringo South suffering and staying in schools as internally displaced persons (IDPs) on their own land. They were chased away from their land, 64 kilometres inside Baringo South. If you go along the Kerio Valley, in a radius of about 10 kilometres from River Kerio, towards the main road, there are bandits. Therefore, I urge the Committee to move with speed on this Petition. It looks like the respective Ministry is not doing its work. I do not know why we give them a lot of money to protect the lives of Kenyans yet people die every week. This Tuesday we buried three people along the Kerio Valley who died in banditry. Hon. Alois has narrated how many people have died in Samburu. It looks like the security system is not working at all. So, they need to style up or resign and go to do something else. Thank you"
