    "content": "Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations regarding heightened insecurity perpetuated by gun wielding bandits who have invaded and attacked residents of Ikandani area in Mutha Ward of Kitui South Constituency in Kitui County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Munyau Mutia, an innocent citizen, was shot by the attackers on Sunday 5th June, 2022. I am happy that I am raising this Statement when the Senate Majority Leader is in the House. Even if the Chairman of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations is not around, he should take note because this is a serious matter. In the Statement, the Committee should - 1. Appraise the Senate on the measures that the national Government has put in place in response to the current insecurity in Ikandani area in Mutha Ward of Kitui South Constituency, Kitui County in securing lives and properties of the residents, giving clear timelines. The people of the affected area are aware that the Government is taking stern measures elsewhere in the country to deal with an issue similar to what they are facing today. 2. The Committee should state the reasons for the delay in resolving this incessant banditry attacks while providing targeted interventions in strengthening security. 3. The Committee should clarify whether the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of national Government has established additional police posts in the affected areas or deployed Rapid Deployment Units (RDUs) and the National Police Reservists to complement security apparatus, to ensure effective addressing of the conflict."
