    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise, pursuant to Standing Order 53 (1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the destruction of property in tea estates belonging to private investors in Kericho and Bomet Counties. In the Statement, the Committee should – (1) State the role, if any, played by local leaders, security officials and the respective employee unions in Kericho and Bomet counties, in dissuading or encouraging the destruction of private property owned by tea estate firms. (2) Explain why police intervention was not adequate to prevent the destruction of property belonging to the private investors, indicating measures in place to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to book. (3) Outline the subsequent effects of the destruction on jobs and incomes across the tea sector in the two counties and nationally, noting that one of the multinational firms affected has publicly announced that it will be shutting down and laying off its 16,000 employees. (4) State measures put in place by the Government to restore investor confidence following the attacks and to assure them of their personal and commercial safety. I thank you."
