    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations regarding insecurity incidences reported in Bomachoge- Borabu Sub-County in Kisii County. Quite a number of people have been injured following clashes along the Transmara West-Bomachoge-Borabu border in Kisii County over alleged cattle theft. The violence began on Saturday, 1st March, 2025, after three cows were allegedly stolen from the Bomachoge-Borabu side on Friday, 28th February, 2025. Youths pursuing the suspected thieves encountered hostile gangs within the Transmara villages, leading to a confrontation that spread to the neighbouring villages. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Conduct investigations into the recent cattle theft incidences in Kiango, Nyabitunwa, and Nyachenge areas near the border of Kisii and Narok counties, which have resulted in the loss of livestock for affected families. (2) Enquire into the criminal activities that have taken place in the aforementioned areas, including the invasion and destruction of sugarcane farms, which have led to attacks and injuries to residents. (3) State the measures taken to hold the perpetrators accountable for these heinous acts and ensure the safety and protection of the affected areas. (4) Highlight the steps taken by the national Government to address the ethnic tensions between the Kisii and Maasai communities, as well as the initiatives that are taken to promote lasting peace in the border areas, where ethnic animosity between the two communities has been observed over the years. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I speak, the war is continuing and we do not want Chinkororo to come back. I thank you."
