    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security concerning the security situation in the Tana Delta. I want the Minister, in his Statement, to clarify the following issues. One, whether he is aware that on 14th August, 2012, over 193 head of cattle were destroyed in a village in Kilelegwani and in a revenge attack that 110 houses in Kao Village were burnt. Secondly, is the Minister aware that five people have died from gunshot wounds? We want to further ask the Minister to clarify, after the peace meetings that were held in the presence of the provincial team and I included, what over 100 policemen were doing in the wake of this morning when over 50 people were killed in a village nearby and the whole of Riketa Village burnt down. We want the Minister to clarify why the security officers were not patrolling the area as agreed and why they were not doing anything. Why has the Ministry failed to provide aerial survey and why has the area not been combed for gangs? Why is the Minister watching as people are being killed or butchered despite the fact that I have had meetings with him and all the security agencies? We want the Minister to tell us what urgent action he will take because it appears that the revenge attacks are continuing. Even when we go there and talk, it appears that revenge attacks are going on. The Minister is not taking the recommendations that we are making that there should be checking on these gangs so that they are arrested. What is the Minister doing about this situation and what urgent measures are being taken to stop the revenge killings?"
