    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I join you in welcoming the petitioners from Samburu to the Senate. These are not just visitors to the Senate; they are petitioners to the Senate on issues of insecurity in Samburu County. They are not just petitioners. As I have mentioned, they are also our visitors today and victims of insecurity in Samburu County. I thank the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations for giving them time and opportunity to articulate issues of insecurity in Samburu County that have affected Kenyans who live there. They include loss of property, livestock, and farming land and many other injustices that are being done to these people. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a timely visit. This is because they have come to visit the Senate when we have a Motion that is still alive in the Senate where we are discussing issues of insecurity. That Motion was brought by the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. I urge all Senators to support the Motion, so that we contain the runaway insecurity in most parts of the country, especially in North Rift counties, including Samburu. Madam Temporary Speaker, I will now let Sen. Olekina to welcome them because you had instructed both of us to do so."
