"content": "On cattle rustling, we from the North Rift, have had a lot of challenges particularly in the Kerio Valley. The insecurity situation in that region has caused students not to access school and left many parents homeless. We hope that matter will be thoroughly addressed, so that Kerio Valley can turn from a valley of death to a valley of wealth generation. If the national Government will begin the construction of the two dams that were politically stopped, it is a region that has a potential of supplying fresh produce sufficient to feed this country and have enough for the export market. We hope the security in Kerio Valley will be restored. Families that have been displaced will go back to their lands and children who are not going to school will be able to go. This will not only restore the dignity of the people of Kerio Valley, but also give them a chance to contribute to the development of this nation, just like the other Kenyans. Finally, we expect the Inspector General (IG) of Police to ensure that his officers are motivated. The police force for a long time has been demoralised. This is because we have graduate police officers who are denied their allowances and positions because of being graduates. Moreover, in every discipline and profession, people aspire to progress. One of the ways of progressing is improving on one’s academic qualification. I believe the new IG will also put into consideration matters human resource management of the police force. This is to ensure that our disciplined forces become motivated to serve this nation. I thank you."
