    "content": "that all the police officers who are currently in the North Rift should be removed and KDF be deployed permanently. The people who are killing our women and children in Kerio Valley are Police Officers. Spent cartridges of bullets used in raids are marked “GoK” or Government of Kenya. Banditry in the Kerio Valley is escalated by police officers who sell bullets to bandits. Police officers are collaborators in this problem. We are no longer talking about normal bandits. We are talking about criminal enterprises where there is a commercialisation part of it. There are people who benefit from cattle rustling. Where do these animals go? That is the question we are seeking answers for. Hon. Temporary Speaker, in the Kerio Valley, there are people who are not interested with livestock but are interested in the business of arms and ammunitions. Those are the people the Government should be looking for. Why is it that the Government, with all its intelligence officers, is not able to track these people? We must stop calling these people rustlers. These are criminals who must be treated like those who rob other people. Hon. Temporary Speaker, we are seeking to amend some sections of the security laws to have these people treated as terrorists. They are robbers and criminals and they should be punished. I want to support my colleague and say that we are going to unite against all bandits in the Kerio Valley."
