    "content": "Thank you hon. Speaker, Sir. I wish to second this very important Motion. It is important because it arises from the resolution of this House this afternoon. This is a constitutional provision that requires this House to grant approval to the Government for them to deploy the KDF. Hon. Speaker, Sir, this afternoon I had lunch with two hon. Members of Parliament; one from the Pokot community and another one from the Turkana community. While we were discussing, I asked them; how is it that the Pokots encircled a Turkana village? They said that these are militiamen that are from out of the country. I asked, so what happened to the militiamen when the police arrived? The answer that I was given was that they disappeared into the community and no one arrested them. Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is a very sad situation that people could not be arrested although they had encircled a village seeking to massacre people. This is a very serious matter, it calls upon the KDF to intervene in this situation and bring order and sanity in our country. I beg to second."
