    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this Motion that hopes to capture the deep pains that pastoralists and families in this part of the country go through in the hands of bandits that are roaming on our lands with a lot of impunity that anyone cannot imagine. While we could survive natural calamities like floods and droughts in this part of the country, it is very hard to stay safe from bandits because they are all over. They are operating with so much impunity. They can come in, raid, kill, maim and still get away with it. I present a case of an innocent Form III girl by the name Fatuma Waqo Wario, who was leaving school recently just after closing. She was on her way home to see her parents on 1st April on the Isiolo-Merti Road. She was shot dead by bandits. This left the parents and family so devastated and many other families so hopeless to the extent that they were even afraid of sending learners to schools anymore. Further, what has left many families so helpless is the fact that even after the bandits raided and took the lives and destroyed everything, it is puzzling that the State could not go after them and recover those herds of animals when they have complete intelligence on where the herds are and who is keeping them. To give you an example from my county, there are 147 camels that are hidden in Mukogodo Forest, just as mentioned by another Mheshimiwa here. The boma is known and the number of bandits involved are known, but there is no action from the Government. One is left to wonder: In a State where there are functional security establishments and machinery, why is it so hard to go after those people, even after they have destroyed life? Recovering the herds will, at least, give some hope to the families and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
