    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations on the border conflict between Kenya and Ethiopia and alleged banditry attacks in Marsabit County by Samburu armed men. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Ascertain the interventions the national Government is undertaking to deal with the incursion of Ethiopian Military Forces in Kenya, mainly in Sololo Sub-County in Anona, Abo and Dukale villages in Marsabit County; (2) Inform the Senate on the customs clearance requirements for Kenyan vehicles and motorbikes crossing to and from the Ethiopian border, and vice versa; (3) State plans, if any, the Government has undertaken to hasten the release of motor vehicle registration number KCW 597H, belonging to Mr. Ali Abdi Dida, that was impounded on 30th April, 2022 alongside other 120 motorbikes detained in Ethiopia; (4) State plans that the national Government is taking to ensure that the National Police Reservists (NPR) in Marsabit County are provided with firearms, since NPRs from neighbouring counties remain armed; and, (5) Outline any targeted measures in seeking sustainable solutions to the incessant banditry attacks by armed Samburu men between Serolibi and Merille along Isiolo- Marsabit Highway; and the incessant cattle rustling by the same armed men in Saku Constituency in Marsabit County, highlighting actions being taken to enhance security and bring the perpetrators to book. Thank you."
