    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, a day after Madaraka Day celebrations, on 2nd June, 2013, two men who had taken their livestock to Nakua River in Kibish District, were shot and seriously injured. The two are now at Lodwar District Hospital. The Lodwar District Hospital is now over-stretched with patients recovering from bullet wounds. Those patients are likely to incur medical bills arising from the treatment. What I want to bring to the attention of this House is the fact that the area in which those attacks took place are within the confines of the contested Ilemi Triangle. Therefore, there is need for the Government of the Republic of Kenya to investigate the reasons as to why those killings are taking place. In all those incidents, there was no response from the Government. The worst scenario is a case in Kokoro, where Kenyans were killed some 20 kilometres from General Service Unit (GSU) and Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU) camps but there was no response. My dismay with regard to this situation is that not even the President or the Deputy President has sent a message of condolence to the families of the ten Kenyans who lost their lives following those incidents. Those people are bound by the Constitution of this country and they need protection from the State. If people in that area continue to die at this rate, we may hardly have people to vote for some of us. I would like to urge the Committee on Defence and Security to visit those areas, so that they can confirm the reality and bring a Report to this House."
