"content": " Thank you very much for your indulgence. I wish to request for a Statement from the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Interior and National Administration with respect to the on-going clashes in Trans Mara. The last few days have not been peaceful for the people of Kilgoris Constituency who are residing in Nkararo and Enoosaen locations. There have been clashes, skirmishes, fights and total disruption of order in the area. The events have been quite costly. Lives of young people have been lost, and their hopes brought to an abrupt end. This week alone cows have been stolen in broad day light. Sugar-cane, now the main crop of the area has been burnt thus occasioning huge losses. Houses have been burnt down by very bold arsonists. The fight has been by use of traditional weapons like bows and arrows. However, there is now a threat of guns being used in the fight. This will escalate matters and will lead to fatalities not witnessed before. The clashes in this area have gone on for too long and, unless a comprehensive solution is found there does not seem to be any end coming soon. On Monday, 5th June 2023, I convened a meeting attended by representatives of the two warring clans together with the security teams of Trans Mara. In that meeting, we identified The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
