    "content": "So much is happening in Turkana County. I do not know why the Government is giving a deaf ear and blind eye to our cry. Many people have been killed by bandits in Turkana County. If you look at the issue raised by Hon. Nicholas Ng’ikor today, four of the members of his constituency are lying lifeless on their soil in Turkana. They had not gone to attack anyone aggressively. They were killed in their homes. Even as we speak today, one of our roads is impassable—the A1 Road from Kitale to Lodwar. A shuttle that was enroute to Lodwar via Kainuk was attacked today. Bullets were sprayed indiscriminately. One person was killed and many are critically injured. There is a new form of attack that has started again. Our boda boda riders are not safe in Turkana. When they are riding in the bushy roads in our rural places, they are sprayed with bullets and their motorcycles are taken away. All these atrocities are committed by our neighbours, the Pokots. There is an ongoing operation in Turkana and Pokot but attacks are more rampant than before. The security agencies are in bed with bandits. We were told that bandits charge their phones in security officers’ homes as they carry their guns along with them. Our game reserve has become a grazing land for our neighbours. Our wild animals are not safe because they are being killed. The situation in Turkana is very sad. As Hon. Ngikolong put it, our children do not go to school.
