    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to make a Ministerial Statement. On the 20th of November 2012, the hon. Member for Lagdera, hon. Farah Maalim, who is also our distinguished Deputy Speaker, on a point of order, sought a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Defence regarding deployment of Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) in Garissa Town. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in his request for the Ministerial Statement, the hon. Member sought clarification on the following: (i) The reasons for the deployment and whether the Government had exhausted the capacity of the Kenya Police Service which has the constitutional mandate under the law to maintain law and order within our borders. (ii) Whether in deploying KDF in that area, the Government followed the respective laws and respected the provisions of Article 241 (3)(c) of the Constitution."
