    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy 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 security situation in Shebtakurrow area of Tarbaj Constituency. On 15th September 2024, an incident of insecurity occurred along the Wajir-Mandera Road in the Shebtakurrow area, between Kotulo Sub-county and Wargadud Location. Two lorries, a Mitsubishi Fuso of Registration Number KCR 887U and an Isuzu FVR 90 of Registration Number KDP 723S, being driven from Mandera to Wajir, were ambushed by unidentified individuals. The attackers set both vehicles ablaze, leaving them completely destroyed, but the drivers managed to escape unscathed. The motive of the heinous attack remains unknown, causing fear and anxiety among the locals on the state of security in the area. 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: 1. A report on the status of investigations into the incident, including whether any arrest(s) have been made since the incident was reported to Kotulo Police Station under OB No. 09/15/09/2024; 2. The measures put in place by security agencies to ensure that the Wajir-Mandera Road which is part of the Horn of Africa gateway developmental project that is currently ongoing is not disrupted by further incidents of insecurity; and, 3. The long-term strategies in place to address and permanently resolve the persistent issues of insecurity in Tarbaj Constituency and the entire northern region of Kenya."
