    "content": "Samburu and Elgeyo-Marakwet Counties even Turkana. The main issue should always be addressed. I have seen the CS in charge of Interior and Coordination of National Government. I did not expect Sen. Chute to be on the Floor of the House. I thought he would liaise with the CS and his colleagues to ensure they are on the ground. This is a security and political issue. It is about many other factors. Since this operation of flashing bandits is an issue across the troubled region and the operation order came from the police, some individuals have argued that it should have come from the military. What you see in Marsabit County and other regions is tribal animosity and revenge attacks. Lives and property have been lost. They say when you drive a car the windscreen is bigger than the side mirrors because we believe that there are better things ahead. I propose that we should empower these regions. The issue of education and infrastructure should be looked at. We have insecurity in this region because of marginalization. We are paying the price of marginalizing some regions. I believe in Marsabit County. If there were tarmac roads, the education level was good and school infrastructure was the best. If there was commitment by national Government administration officers, we would not be seeing such incidences. I remember Sen. Chute stated that even army from across our neighboring countries were coming into our territory; shooting, killing, harassing and taxing our people then going away. This is a serious issue on infringement of the sovereignty of Kenya. I request the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations of the Senate to proceed to Marsabit County by this Friday to assess the situation. We need to show people that they can have faith in Parliament, especially in the Senate. Can the Committee be proactive?"
