Personally, I think this is a way of leaving us in that condition so that others can develop and we remain marginalized. The Government has the capacity and the capability to bring down all the insecurity in the pastoralist areas. Right now, as the Senator for Marsabit County, I would like to raise the issue of the Isiolo- Marsabit Highway. We thought initially that if the road was tarmacked, we would be safe. However, up to now, even the tarmacked part of the road between Isiolo and Merile is still insecure. The Government is not doing anything about it. That is what is going on. The Government should take the security of its people seriously by involving the locals and making sure it is safe. The Government should not just be sending money for security operations to the Provincial Administration which used to be there, so that the only component of the Budget we get is that of security, but not for development. The reason we are underdeveloped is because the Government had its priorities wrong. Owing to that, I hope that this Government will take into account measures of accelerating development in marginalized areas so that we catch up with all the good proposals that the Government is making and also involve us in ensuring that the area is secure with proper infrastructure."
