    "content": "Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Leader of Majority Party regarding the rampant insecurity in the country, especially in Marigat District of Baringo South Constituency. Cattle rustling continues to be a serious security threat in the country causing loss of lives, livestock and properties worth millions of shillings. This affects the economy of this country. In Marigat District in particular, it appears that cattle rustlers suspected to be from Baringo East District have been causing havoc leading to loss of many lives and theft of stock. Regrettably, the political leadership from this region of Baringo East District and its environs has been on the forefront in abetting the menace. In the Statement, the Leader of Majority Party should inquire into and report:- (i) details of cattle rustling activities in Marigat District in the last ten years; (ii) steps being taken by the Government to restore peace and order in the constituency concerned; (iii) the number of those rendered widows, widowers and orphaned children as a result of the cattle rustling menace in Baringo South Constituency, including the information on the number of schools closed due to insecurity; (iv) plans by the Government to compensate those individuals who have lost all their properties and sources of livelihood, including putting in place resettlement plans for the people of Mukutani and Ilchamis wards where residents fled their homes; (v) what the Government is doing to stop cattle rustlers who are, in addition to invading various areas, engage in killing, theft and have also displaced the owners of the land; and (vi) what action the Government will take against the political leadership that is found to be abetting the menace."
