    "content": "31950149, who were engaged in alluvial gold mining. Ms. Cheposang’il Rengeyei unfortunately left behind a five-months-old baby who is now an orphan. That incident underscores the pressing need to address the security situation in Kacheliba Constituency. It is worth noting that the attack happened barely a few months after the Ministry deployed the National Police Reservists to the area and yet, the situation remains dire. Recent weeks have witnessed planned and carefully executed attacks targeting innocent civilians, diverging from the belief that those are merely cattle- related thefts. They are not. The persistent insecurity has severely disrupted the provision of essential services such as education and healthcare, significantly impacting development in the region. Hon. Deputy Speaker, as we speak, Lonyang’alem Primary School remains closed even after the President’s directive that it should be opened. It is also worth noting that the attackers of Kases, Ombolion, Tartar Junction and Takaywa villages have been hiding in Lorogon Village. Despite that village being geographically located within West Pokot County, it has been administered from Turkana County since 1997. This administrative structure raises concern about the village operating as a safe haven for bandits. It is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs on the following: 1. A detailed account of the recent attack, and the current status of investigations into the matter, particularly the killings of Ms. Chemket Long’olenyang and Ms. Cheposang’il Rengeyei. 2. The additional resources or support being provided to strengthen the capacity of security personnel in Kases Village and Kacheliba Constituency to respond to the perennial security threats in the region. 3. A report on the immediate and long-term measures that the Government has put in place to address the recurring banditry attacks to enhance security in Kacheliba Constituency. 4. Administrative status of Lorogon village, including reasons for being administered from Turkana County and yet, it is geographically located in West Pokot County, and measures being implemented to prevent that village from serving as a hideout for bandits. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
