    "content": " Hon. 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 escalating banditry and insecurity within Nachola and Nyiro Wards of Samburu North Constituency. An alarming trend has emerged regarding brazen roadside attacks along the Baragoi- Maralal Road and an escalation of banditry in parts of Samburu North Constituency. Recently, a police land cruiser that was ferrying remandees for a court session was attacked and a police officer, PC Humprey Oroba No.254918, who was also the driver, was killed and his rifle, AK47 No.59014079, stolen. The incident was reported at Baragoi Police Station on OB No.07/10/02/2025, and the four fugitives are still at large. Two weeks later, a bus of Registration No.KCH 872N under Ngarua SACCO plying Maralal-Baragoi route was brazenly attacked at Mbukoi area on the same road, and two conductors, namely, Kevin Compel Lalampaa and George Lochuch were killed. Ten passengers survived with gunshot wounds and are admitted at Maralal Referral Hospital. These attacks follow an earlier spate of raids that resulted in the death of three young men, namely Alois Lorumu Lemoosa, Lenakuru Lempisikichoi and Lmulangai Lemeede. They also led to the loss of over 200 heads of cattle near Tuum area of Nyiro Ward, and another attack, which resulted in the death of a young man who was taking his child to school near Ngorishe in Nyiro Ward. 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. Report on the security situation in the Loruko-Tuum-Kawap-Parkati and the Marti-Lamirok-Suyian-Ngilai-Masikita belts of Nachola and Nyiro Wards of Samburu North Constituency. 2. Effort to apprehend the criminals and fugitives following the attack on the police escort, including the recovery of the missing firearm. 3. Measures put in place by the Ministry to ensure the safety of the passengers who ply the Maralal-Baragoi Road and other trunk roads like the Opiroi-Baragoi Road. 4. Plans put in place by the Ministry to facilitate peace, dialogue and cohesion amongst the Samburu and Turkana communities who live in Nachola and Nyiro Wards in Samburu North Constituency. I, thank you, Hon. Speaker."
