    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that pursuant to Article 241(3)(c) of the Constitution, this House approves the deployment of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), for the purposes of restoring peace and security, including averting further loss of lives and destruction of property in Marsabit, Samburu, West Pokot and Turkana counties of the Republic of Kenya. This was done following consultations in Government. This request is necessitated by the fact that, in the recent past, there have been inter-clan conflict lead by militiamen with more sophisticated weapons in Marsabit County. Some of the militiamen in Marsabit County or Moyale sub-county are coming from the neighbouring country and military intervention is very critical to avert further loss of lives and destruction of property. Given the magnitude of the problem, the Government requires two infantry companies of the KDF and planes for aerial coverage. We feel that, in those four counties, more so in Marsabit County, it is the responsibility of the Government under this Constitution to make sure that lives of Kenyans are saved and destruction of property is assured. This Motion requests KDF to assist Kenyans for such a period until security situation is restored and stabilized. I will ask my colleague, the Chair of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee, hon. Chepkong’a to second. I beg to move."
