    "content": "pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding the tenure and transfer of the Deputy County Commissioner for Garbatulla in Isiolo South Constituency. Hon. Speaker, the National Government Coordination Act, 2024 provides for a Deputy County Commissioner in respect of every sub-county, mandated with coordinating national Government functions at the sub-county level. It is with great concern that I raise the issue of deteriorating security situation in Garbatulla, Isiolo South Constituency and failure by the Deputy County Commissioner of the area to adequately address this issue. Over the past five years, residents of Garbatulla have faced rising cases of insecurity and have persistently appealed to the Deputy County Commissioner, Mr Stephen Nyakundi, to address the issue to no avail. This issue has negatively impacted the social and economic lives of the residents, including a five-year closure of Binasadi Primary School and Korbesa School as a result of unmitigated conflicts between feuding communities in the region. Just recently, the Ministry of Interior and National Administration announced transfer of Deputy County Commissioners, including that of Mr Stephen Nyakundi. However, in a quick turn of events, his transfer was reversed, which makes this the fourth time this has happened in the last seven years. Consequently, this has sparked public outcry as the residents believe that the Deputy County Commissioner has failed to fulfil his mandated duties, particularly in maintaining peace and fostering cohesion at the sub-county level. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security on the following: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
