    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Cabinet Secretary for what he has submitted. It is true that the security officers in Kainuk, Turkana South and Turkana East are doing good work. However, I want to inform the Cabinet Secretary that the officers in Turkana South, who are securing the A1 Road have the biggest challenge. When they want to confront the bandits or the highway robbers, the highway robbers hide themselves in the bushes along the feeder roads. There are feeder roads from Kainuk to Loiyapat and from the wildlife reserve to Kakong. During the rainy periods, it is hard for the security personnel to patrol or tackle the bandits in those areas. Cabinet Secretary, I request that you collaborate with the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport to maintain those feeder roads and ensure they are passable. Recently, a raid occurred and the Kenya Defence Forces used drones. They saw the bandits, but there was no way for them to access the bandits and counter them. The presence of access roads is important. Finally, I will ask the supplementary question which I wanted to ask. Cabinet Secretary, I thank you for bringing services closer to this nation's furthest counties, such as Marsabit. I was in Ileret and I met almost 4,000 people who do not have national IDs. I asked them whether they were Kenyans and they said they are Kenyans. They also appreciated the President and your office for the giving them the additional sub-counties. Secondly, you also considered Turkana County, especially areas that are bordering Uganda, Southern Sudan and Ethiopia. You added new sub-counties: Lokichogio, Lokiriama, Aroo and Suguta. The only thing that we have been waiting for is your promise and I know your promise will be implemented immediately. We are set with the infrastructure to accommodate the Deputy County Commissioner. When are you coming to operationalize the Suguta and Aroo sub-counties? Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
