Those children have a right to go to school. As Kenyans, we have a right to travel.

The attackers kill people and burn vehicles along those roads. The road from Lokori via Kamuge to Kapedo is impassable because of the attackers. The road from Lokwamosing to Wechakla is also impassable because of the rate of attacks. We are also Kenyans who have a right to health. Some health institutions in my constituency have been burnt and destroyed. People are not treated because health facilities were burnt by bandits from the Pokot Community. People are dying because they are not The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
