    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of Sen. Mohamed Chute, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the attacks on residents of Anona, Waigoda and Abo villages in Marsabit County by Ethiopian government forces. Mr. Speaker, Sir, for decades, the Ethiopian Government has carried out military operations across the border with Kenya, where they end up harassing and attacking residents of Marsabit County. The most recent attack occurred two weeks ago, during which the aforementioned villages were attacked, several houses burnt and motorbikes and mobile phones confiscated. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Inform the Senate of any humanitarian assistance extended to the residents displaced during these attacks, providing details of any initiatives by the Government to resettle them. (2) Provide details of strategies in place by the Government of Kenya to reclaim the confiscated belongings of the residents of Marsabit County and protect them from similar attacks in future. (3) State any plans by the Government to deploy the Kenya Defence Forces in Sororo Sub-County to heighten security in the area and defend the residents against this external aggression, providing timelines within which this will be effected. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the second Statement is on behalf of Sen. Mohamed Chute."
