    "content": "Where there is no peace, there will be no development. People cannot focus on development matters when they are scared all the time. Schools will be closed and there will be no future. It is high time the Government prioritised security in Turkana County. The Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration should also frequently visit such sensitive areas, and not only during disasters. I suggest that more officers be deployed to those areas. Our colleague from Turkana South mentioned that only eight security officers are manning those areas. More well- motivated officers should be deployed to those areas. These officers should also be provided with modern equipment and vehicles. At times, the officers lack vehicles to move around, which worsens the situation. Additionally, I propose that affirmative action be given to road construction and the blue economy in this area. The poor road networks worsens the security situation. It is high time the Government allocated more resources to this area. I also suggest that a military base be established in that area so that there can be enough officers to respond appropriately times of such emergencies. With those few remarks, I support."
