    "content": "(1) There has been persistent insecurity, cattle rustling, loss of lives and property in Lorroki, Malaso of Samburu Central Sub County. (2) The Petition is presented to bring to the attention of this honourable Senate, alarming and persistent security challenges faced by residents of the said areas. (3) This has resulted into loss of lives and property as well as disruption of economic activities in the affected areas as follows- (a) Fifty nine lives have been lost, so far. (b) Twenty two people have sustained severe injuries arising out of the said conflict. (c) Two thousand, eight hundred and thirty six cows have been stolen. (d) Three thousand six hundred and sixty three goats have been stolen. (4) That despite the constitutional protection of rights of all Kenyans, including the rights to life, property and security of persons, residents of Lorroki and Malaso Divisions have been enduring a sustained security crisis for approximately two years now. (5) That the security concerns in these areas have resulted in the disruption of learning and closure of schools, displacements of people in residential areas of Amayia and Nasur sub locations leading to severe disruptions in their economic activities. The communities have lost their lives and their normal economic activities have been gravely disturbed. Further, the situation has adversely affected education programmes within the area. (6) That, this has led to the increase in school dropouts and poor performance among learners. Teachers also fear travelling to and from schools within the area. (7) That, the gravity of this situation is exemplified by the fact that more than 59 lives have been lost tragically and a significant number of the properties has been damaged or destroyed. This alarming toll on human lives and loss of valuable assets cannot be ignored. (8) That despite the presence of the Multi Agency Security Forces deployed in these divisions, their efforts to contain the security situation have yielded little to no success. The current security measures have proven insufficient in providing adequate protection for the residents and their property. (9) That, the response by the Multi Agency Security Forces and the national Government to deal with the matter in question has been sluggish and amounts to denial of constitutional rights to the area residents. (10) That, the issues in respect of which this Petition is raised, are not pending before any court of law, constitutional or any other legal body. (11) That, the residents have made efforts to have the matter addressed by the relevant authorities, including the Multi Agency Security Forces, the local administration and the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, all of which have not given a satisfactory response to the security situation in Lorroki and Malaso areas of Samburu Central Sub County. Therefore, your humble petitioners pray to the Senate- (1) Inquires into the circumstances of this matter by engaging the various relevant Government agencies with a view to establishing the root causes of the insecurity The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
