"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security regarding raids on 30th June, 2009 and 9th August this year at Komkala River and Lowangâu respectively, in which a total of five persons were killed, seven were seriously injured and over 1,466 head of cattle stolen and driven towards Merti in Isiolo North. In the Statement, I would like the Minister to address the following issues:- (i) Why the Government has not to date not responded in both incidences by visiting the scene, collecting the dead bodies, taking the injured to hospital or pursuing the raiders. (ii) Explain the apparent bias by the Government against some communities considering that the handling of cattle rustling at the border of Isiolo North and Samburu East Districts has been discriminative. (iii) The steps the Government is taking to ensure that the stolen cattle from Samburu East and Laisamis Districts are returned in order to avoid revenge attacks from the affected communities. (iv) Whether the Government could consider allowing pastoralists to graze their livestock in the parks in view of the severe drought currently being experienced in the country."
