Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 44 (2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding the rising insecurity in Garissa County. Insecurity in Garissa County has continued to spiral out of control and has become a cause for worry as it has impacted not only the safety but also the wellbeing of our citizens. Garissa Town, in particular, has experienced several insecurity incidences in the last two weeks with people being killed, mugged, stabbed and shops broken into by criminals, some of whom are armed. The continuous escalation of this disturbing trend has negatively impacted the peace and safety of the region, as well as economic activities, education, and health services. The situation is so dire that businesses have been closing as early as 6.00 pm with those located in the outskirts, where the incidences have been rampant, being the most affected. It is the primary responsibility of the national Government, all relevant local authorities, and security agencies to join hands and work out a coherent strategy against this menace to restore peace and ensure a secure environment for the residents of Garissa County. Hon. Speaker, given the rising insecurity in Garissa County, which is adversely affecting the safety and wellbeing of residents, I wish to request the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security to apprise the House on the following: 1. The specific measures the Ministry is implementing to address this alarming trend; and 2. Measures the Government is implementing to ensure effective collaboration between national authorities, county governments, and security agencies to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for informationpurposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
