    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to request for a statement regarding the raid that was done at Mwembeni Village in Kinango Constituency. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs regarding the raid that was done at Mwembeni Village in Kinango Constituency. On the night of Monday10th October, 2022 the villagers of Mwembeni in Kinango Constituency were attacked by a gang of 50 members armed with guns, machetes and other crude weapons. The raiders were in military attire. They assaulted the residents, demolished houses and even burnt them down causing a lot of destruction to property. The security agencies responded to contain the situation, and the Samburu OCPD dispatched a team of officers from Taru Police Station. The team made arrests, and three suspects were detained at Taru police station. Three vehicles with registration numbers KCZ 469A, KDB 938P and KAY 005F in connection to the incident were also impounded and taken to the same police station. It is against this background that I seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs on the following: 1. Could the Chairperson provide the status report of the investigations into the attacks and the impounded vehicles, and the action taken against the arrested persons since then? 2. Noting the kind of weapons and equipment used by the raiders, could the Chairperson provide a report on the intention of the said raid and whether there is any, if any, connection to organised crime or interest-driven motive? 3. Could the Chairperson state the measures the Government is putting in place to curb increased cases of insecurity at Mwembeni Village and the entire Kinango Constituency? Thank you."
