    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to take this opportunity on behalf of the people of Nairobi City County as well to convey our heartfelt condolences and commiserations with the people of Turkana through their Senator; Sen. hon. Lomenen, who has caused this Adjournment Motion for us to discuss the situation in Turkana. As you know, I am a very proud Secretary General of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), a party that has a very strong presence in Turkana. In Turkana North, we are represented in the National Assembly by hon. Ekwem Nabuin, who was elected on an ODM ticket and his counterpart, hon. Ariko Namuit, who represents Turkana South. These two Members of Parliament have taken the liberty to brief the party on the situation in Turkana as they see it. I want to go through some of the reports that we have got from our two Members of Parliament. I will be presenting this brief before a meeting of the organ of a party that is scheduled tomorrow. First, it is clear that this attack was carried out by Ethiopian militia who are operating on the northern most tip of Turkana County. According to these two Members of Parliament, there are more than 30 fishermen who are missing and feared massacred inside the lake during that attack. They also confirmed to party that they are yet to retrieve the bodies because the Ethiopian side is not cooperating and unwilling to engage with them."
