    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, pardon me for interrupting earlier. I am here to seek a Statement from the Chairman of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations about the deteriorating security situation in Isiolo. We have had relative peace for the last one year or so in Isiolo which earlier on was a hot spot. We as leaders have got together and managed a very successful election by trying to share and have a very inclusive leadership. Unfortunately, a land border issue is creeping into Isiolo and I have to seek this Statement this early in order that this matter be resolved and security personnel on the ground and the national level be able to take a pre-emptive move as we, political leaders, also look for a political solution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a developing land boundary dispute between Isiolo and Meru County at Meru North District and my colleague, Sen. Kiraitu, and I have agreed to put our heads together and go down and put leaders together and address this matter. But this morning, some members of my county were attacked. Four of them were injured, two of them critically and two women raped. This has been a brewing issue which we thought we could now rush and resolve. But now, since it has reached that level, it is an indicator of an explosive situation that I would like this Committee to take note of and to mobilize the security team as we, leaders, also get our act together so that Isiolo which has now enjoyed relative peace does not join the list of other counties that are hot spots. Thank you."
