    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs regarding the rise of insecurity in Aldai Constituency. Article 29 of the Constitution provides that every person has the right to freedom and security. Sadly, there has been a recent rise of insecurity in Aldai Constituency. This is caused by a recent change in security personnel at the sub-county level. The shift has led to incidents of unexplained cases of cattle rustling and murder. For instance, Mr Elkana Kiplagat of identification card No.0447870 was murdered on Thursday, 31st October 2024 while returning home from work. On 13th October 2024, Ms Philister Jelimo of identification card No.32321228 from Chebonge Village in Emgwen Constituency was found murdered at Kondus Bridge in Koyo Ndurio Ward. Additionally, there have been rising cases of cattle rustling, with a recent case where 30 herds of cattle were stolen from four different homes. These incidents have left the families in a state of fear and agony. 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 report on the status of investigations into the incidences of insecurity, including the deaths of Mr Elkana Kiplagat and Ms Philister Jelimo. 2. The actions being taken to ensure the perpetrators of the crimes are arrested and prosecuted without delay. 3. The measures being put in place to curb insecurity and cattle rustling in the constituency. 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."
