    "content": "assailants. The following people were unfortunately killed: Boniface Letore, a male, 67 years old; his wife Christine Letore, 39 years old; Loldikir, a male police officer from Wamba, 46 years old; Sabina Loldikir, a young person who was 10 years old; Lenepe, a male, 20 years old; and Milisiai Loldikir, 40 years old. You will notice that all of them were from the same family. Last year, there is a time when the Government imposed a curfew in Marsabit. The curfew extended for six months. During the time of curfew, I think Marsabit was peaceful. People co-existed, went to school and did their normal businesses everywhere. After the expiry of the curfew, just a few months ago, the problem has started again. I would like to send my sincere condolences to the aggrieved families because we have lost many people; it is not only the ones I have mentioned. Some months ago, we lost so many people from the Rendille, Gabra and Borana communities due to cattle rustling and sporadic killings. We also have a bigger problem in Saku where Marsabit Town is found, which is the headquarters of Marsabit County. On 25th December, 2022, a lady by the name Kamiso Bere was robbed Kshs520,000 by robbers. Another day, Soso Robe lost Kshs150,000 and became paralyzed and is now bedridden. Again, Tuke Kadiro, Guyo Ume, Kesho Kidane and Juma Harme were robbed of millions of shillings, but there is no one single recovery. I am sad to say that there is collusion between the police officers attached to the DCI based in Marsabit and the criminals operating within Marsabit. The loot that is gotten is equally shared. I stand before this Parliament and Kenyans today not only worried about what has happened. I am actually worried about what is going to happen because these are revenge attacks. If we want to solve this problem, first, through the national Government, we need to have a reconciliation committee and see how we can bring our people together and educate them on how they can coexist. The other issue is Kenya Police Reservists (KPR) guns. Some people around Samburu, Mandera and Isiolo have KPR guns called Modern Precision Rifle (MPR). I suggest that the national Government initiates how we can have young people having the guns to help security officers. I also urge that multi-agency security personnel be deployed as soon as possible."
