    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Administration and National Security. As we speak in this House, the people of West Pokot are in trouble. The Government has sent a battalion of the army with all the artillery 946 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 4, 2006 that you can imagine of and they have scared our people. Schools are opening next week and parents are fearful for their children. The people cannot even plant their crops with the onset of rains because of fear. The army is doing a security operation which is uncalled for. Our people are being intimidated. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in giving his statement, I would like the Minister to tell us why the disarmament is being done now when schools are opening and people are planting their crops. On one hand, the Government is giving out seeds to other Kenyans to plant, the Pokots are not planting anything. Secondly, could the Minister also tell the House why the disarmament is targeting only the Pokot people."
