"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the Motion; that pursuant to Standing Order No.37, the Senate do now adjourn to discuss a definite matter of urgent national importance, namely, the intercommunal killings and displacement of residents in Marsabit County. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Marsabit County has experienced problems after problems. In 1967 we had the Shifta Menace in Marsabit that contributed to a lot of problems, displacements and deaths. Around 2013, 2017 and 2022, we lost over 500 people in Marsabit County. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as you are aware, we lost political leaders from four constituencies of Marsabit County. The leaders were Hon. (Dr.) Bonaya Godana, Hon. (Dr.) Guracha Galgallo Boru, Hon. Abdi Sasura, Hon. Titus Ngoyoni, Hon. Mirugi Kariuki, who was the Assistant Minister for Internal Security, Bishop William Waqo, General Adan, two young pilots and other senior officers. The politicians and leaders were travelling in a military aircraft to go and quell tribal tensions in Marsabit. The date was 10th April, 2006. We have lost many good people in Marsabit. I am sad to say that on Monday, 24th April, 2023, we lost a young beautiful girl called Kabale Haro, who was on a motorbike from Marsabit heading to Badassa. She was a resident of Badassa. The rider was also seriously injured and hospitalised in Marsabit County Referral Hospital. On Tuesday, 25th April, 2023, we lost John Leshepi, who happened to be an old man from Loiyangalani, just next to Lake Turkana, due to revenge attacks. Again, on Thursday, 27th April, 2023, we lost Lokiyam Kesike, a young boy who was working in Marsabit Town. Again, yesterday, sadly, a white motor vehicle whose registration number is KCB 327R, with six occupants of the same family, was sprayed with bullets by unknown"
