    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for drawing the Minister's attention to the fact that, I am addressing this matter to him. I would like him to issue an urgent Ministerial Statement regarding the escalating insecurity in the whole of Meru region. During the past one week, hooligans from Tharaka Constituency have invaded South Imenti, Central Imenti and North Imenti constituencies. At the moment, we understand those hooligans have moved to Tigania East Constituency. Two days ago, they burnt down houses, granaries and other property in my constituency, including the property of one Mzee Solomon. Could the Minister, therefore, issue an urgent Ministerial Statement clarifying the following:- April 10, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 473 (i) The urgent and immediate measures he is taking to restore security in the area and arrest the situation. (ii) Whether the hooligans who burnt down Mzee Solomon's property have been arrested and charged in court. (iii) Whether any politicians, chiefs and assistant chiefs have been involved in organizing and funding those hooligans. We have a feeling that some politics is involved. (iv) Finally, when the issue of the boundary between Tharaka District and the rest of Meru districts will be sorted out, so that we do not have another case of Mt. Elgon District emanating from the Meru region."
