    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that the residents of Logologo area are currently unable to access water and pasture in Gudas and Soriadi areas due to insecurity. However, I am aware that the residents have not been taking their animals to Gudas and Soriadi as there is plenty of pasture and water in their current locations. They migrated to Logologo area several years ago. The Government has established two permanent AP camps in Gudas and Logologo areas. In addition to this, the Government has also recruited and deployed 77 Kenya Police Reservists. In addition, security arrangements and mobile patrols have been enhanced in the areas and no single incident has been reported in the recent past with the last incident having been recorded on 16th November, 2011, when the Degodia tribesmen from Wajir West raided Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) sub-centre in a revenge attack and stole camels belonging to KARI. This followed a similar raid by the Rendille in June, 2011, during which they stole 65 camels from Koya area. Previously the area had enjoyed three consecutive years of calm. (b)Yes, I am aware that previously the need for the establishment of an Anti- Stock Theft Unit had been expressed and agreed upon in various meetings. However, the idea has been shelved due to the ongoing security operations in Moyale and Isiolo. Further, we are awaiting additional officers who are currently undergoing training in the police training colleges. Once they pass out, the camps will be set up immediately. It should also be noted, however, that there are ASTU officers in the two volatile districts of Moyale and Isiolo."
