    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs. I remember when the Member for Kitui County, Hon. Kasalu, brought this issue, it was not only confined to Kitui County. It was an issue which affected almost all the counties in the North Rift and the North Eastern regions. The Statement is very good. I congratulate the new Cabinet Secretary, Prof. Kindiki Kithure. I ask him to replicate the security measures he has instituted in Kitui County in other counties affected by insecurity as well. I am asking him to employ NPRs in other parts of the country. We have about 200 NPRs in Kerio Valley, but we still have challenges of insecurity. I ask the Chairperson and the Cabinet Secretary to also visit counties in Kerio Valley as well as parts of Turkana, Baringo and West Pokot counties to familiarise themselves with the situation so that we can make sure that our people live in peace. It is because of the prevailing drought that many of our people, who are pastoralists, are moving around the country looking for water and pastures for their animals. This should, however, not give authority to our people to invade private farms and kill people. As the leaders who represent them in this House, it is good we take appropriate measures to address this problem. We should sit down with our neighbours and agree on how we can coexist as neighbours. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
