    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Assistant Minister for the response. I am absolutely not satisfied with the response. I am aware that, in the last one and a half year, the Government has been in the process of posting those security forces to northern Kenya. It is almost two years now. We have a DC and other departmental heads. What we demand and need now is security. It is because of security problems that we lag behind in development, our children do not go to school and our livelihoods are destroyed now and then. The Assistant Minister has alluded to the issue of infrastructure. North Horr Police Station has been in existence since the colonial period. In actual fact, during the colonial times, the DC for the larger Marsabit District used to stay in North Horr. I want to know from the Assistant Minister: What is the infrastructure that has delayed the posting of security officers to northern Kenya? Secondly, on part \"(b)\" of the Question, the Assistant Minister has mentioned that the security situation in northern Kenya is more or less stable. Yes, we have not had massacres like the Turbi Massacre which happened two years ago. But two days ago, 400 heads of cattle were stolen from Samburu. In Marsabit, hardly two weeks passes before lives are lost. In April, in my North Horr Constituency, more than 10,000 goats were stolen, two people were killed and the OCPD of Marsabit District was injured in that attack. If that is not insecurity, I want to know what exactly the Assistant Minister means by saying that the situation is stable in northern Kenya than never before."
