    "content": "The other thing I want to bring out from the President’s Speech is that there is no mention of insecurity in our county. When the President was sworn in, there was an attack in Turkana East after a few days in office. It was happening within the boundaries of Kenya. A number of police officers and civilians were killed. This issue of insecurity should be taken seriously because we know that for a long time, security operations have been conducted in those areas but the results have been the same. There is need. I thank the Deputy President because he was able to meet and engage us. However, we want results. That was a boardroom meeting where we agreed on a number of issues. We are yet to see what comes out of that operation. We know very well that we cannot have development without a secure environment. The areas under attack have never developed. These areas are no man’s land and they are grasslands. In essence, this has contributed to the loss of livelihoods and the economic mainstay of the community. The Government should be proactive in bringing these attacks to an end within the borders and in the country. I am not saying that the attacks only happen in Turkana but also in Kerio Valley. There is hue and cry over the insecurity situation in these areas. The Government should come out very strongly in taking care of this matter."
