"content": "On the 25th August, 2013, in Maskita Village, Ndoto Ward, six armed men raided and invaded a Manyatta in the night and stole camels and shot and critically injured a 14 year girl from a family called Lemaron. The girl is still in hospital in Maralal, being treated and the parents have nothing even to pay for the hospital bills. On 31st August, 2013, another group of armed men stole 106 goats belonging to somebody called Lowesa Emuria, just next to the secondary school about two kilometres from the town. On 16th September, 2013, another group of armed men raided cattle shed three kilometres from the town and police station and in the process of shooting the herders, they seriously injured a 14 year old boy and he is still in hospital. On 18th September, 2013, another group of armed fellows stole three cows from a village in a place called Keleswa. Those animals have never been recovered because nobody followed them. On 22nd September, 56 cows were also raided by armed bandits in a place called Loonjorin in South Horr in Nyiro Ward, two herders from Lesingiran family were shot and critically injured and they are in Wamba Hospital receiving treatment. No follow up, arrest nor recovery was done on those animals. On 26th September, two young boys who were riding a motorcycle from South Horr to Baragoi were also attacked. They were innocent riding a motorcycle. It is about two kilometres from the Baragoi Town and they were shot. They are in Nakuru hospital receiving treatment. No arrest has been made, no report has been made but nobody follows these incidents. On 28th September, 2013, a 13 year-old young boy was also killed near the police camp, next to the secondary school. Fifty goats were stolen. The last one was on 2nd of October, this year, this is the most recent. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on 2nd October, the most recent one, 40 armed raiders invaded a manyatta in a place called Suiyan and killed two herders, namely, a 16 year old boy from the family of Lewarani and 47 years old from the Lentilo Family. Consequently, 300 cows, 700 goats, 80 camels and 32 donkeys were stolen. Three herders were also critically injured and are currently receiving treatment in hospital. Why does this happen? It is a shame because a Government cannot recover firearms stolen by bandits. You will remember the Baragoi Massacre which is still outstanding and fresh in our minds where 50 policemen were killed and 50 riffles were taken including a 2HK11 and a grenade. Nobody bothered to follow up these issues. Even the Government itself was hurt. It was attacked and they do not care. These firearms are the ones which are being used now to cause atrocities to Kenyans. They are also coming here to Nairobi. We are not complaining because of the Samburu County, but the firearms will be taken to Kakamega, Garissa, Nyeri or even to Nakuru because human beings travel. That is why I was appealing that this 11th Parliament should rise up and try to address these issues. It is like the Executive is not serious about what is going on in Kenya. This is already spreading. We need to do something. When we were in Mombasa during our retreat, my Chairman made very critical suggestions. I want to stop there, so that we can continue, but my conclusion is that we need to do something."
