    "content": "First, my condolences to the people of Marsabit. Article (43) (e) of the Constitution talks about right for security for the citizens. In Northern Kenya, insecurity is the biggest problem that we have. As a pastoralist, when there is drought, we fight, when it is raining, we fight. Devolution is supposed to bring security to our community. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when it comes to killings in other counties if such things happen, you see on the television and radio that human rights commissions go there to support the victims affected. However, when it comes to the Northern Kenya, Marsabit, if the Senator concerned had not brought this Motion, we would not have known there is insecurity there. It is the work of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) to investigate and see what is going on and make resolutions on what is happening in our Northern region. It is very shameful that instead of pastoralists becoming brothers and sisters, they fight each other because they share resources. When it comes to pasture and water, we are supposed to share. The pastoralists community will need civil education in order to know they have to share their resources so that our animals, people and children become safe. Security is a necessity and if you do not have security, children cannot go to school and you do not get your basic rights. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is high time for our Government to step in and investigate further, so that this issue of insecurity in the pastoral area must come to an end. Thank you."
