    "content": "the 5th of January, we had some celebrations as Kerio Valley people because we had peace. However, I do not know what happened suddenly. The security teams need to establish the cause and use intelligence properly because it looks like there is some commercial aspect to this banditry. It is no longer normal cattle rustling. It has become more or less like a business. Yesterday, we buried two people in Elgeyo-Marakwet County. There is one who will be buried on Friday. This is happening in Samburu, Isiolo, Turkana and West Pokot. Why has it become so difficult for the security teams with the intelligence of the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and intelligence of the National Intelligence Service (NIS), who are being given a lot of resources? What are they doing with these resources if they cannot stem banditry within the country? This is serious. The team at the Ministry of Interior, National Administration, and NIS need to settle once and for all. Instead of focusing on development, our people are focusing on burying people and running around. It looks like we are not part of this country. Secondly, I would like to comment on the Statement by the Senator for Kisumu. Counties have not done valuation rolls to establish the actual value of properties. They need to account for the current resources they are collecting. If you check our water bills, there is an item called sewage and garbage collection. Basically, most of us here in Nairobi have garbage collections done by private companies; the counties do not do them. Why are they charging for a service and they are not delivering? They need to rethink and ensure proper public participation. Luckily, most Kenyans know what to do in case they want to increase. Basically, the courts are there to save us from additional taxation from the counties. These governors are not utilizing the resources they are getting from their shareable revenue and also what they are collecting. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
