    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, like my colleague, Sen. Billow Kerrow, I stand to seek a Statement from the Chairman in charge of National Security and Foreign Relations regarding incidents of insecurity along the Nandi/Kisumu County border in the area where we find Songo, Chemelil and Kopere residential and farming places. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, over the last couple of months, there have been skirmishes in this border area where heads of cattle have been raided; sometimes both ways, and lives have been lost. At least, four people were killed not too long ago and no investigation has been done to establish who did it. These skirmishes have continued. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to know:- (1) What action the Government is taking to use Government security agencies such as the Anti-Stock Theft Unit (ASTU) and the AP to reinforce the work does by the regular police, who have been overwhelmed; to ensure that peace and security exists in the area. (2) Whether the Government can give us an updated report on those who have been killed and the cattle stolen? What compensation can be given to those adversely affected? (3) What investigations have been done to establish those who have been killed and the safety of their families? And, finally, (4) To what extent the Government is taking action to ensure that my neighbour, Sen. Sang, myself and other leaders can sit together at this border so that there can be an understanding of a lasting peace between these two communities, which for a long time have lived peacefully together? Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
