    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I do not want to complain to the Chair but I am saying being a local, I think I now understand that the Ministry is not doing very well to actually assist Kenyans and even this House to unearth some of the problems that we face in insecurity. Hon. Speaker, I was there. I actually visited the place during the fracas. That is the afternoon after Tom was killed. First, the students were not armed at all. They were peaceful; they did not have even a stick. So, it is a lie to say that they were armed. Two, it has taken too long for the Ministry to tell us about the issue of investigation. Three, normally even in livestock movement regulations, the Government does not allow livestock to be transported during the night even if they are meant to be sold. Even if they are transported during the day, their owners must have a permit. It seems these particular livestock were being sneaked to Isiolo for sale. So, hon. Speaker, I think it is imperative that we inquire more as a Committee by going to the ground. I want to appeal to you that this Committee has been facing problems because of finances. Whenever we want to go anywhere we are told there is no money. Even the visit to Mpeketoni which is very critical is still pending because we are told there is no money. The same applies to visits to several other places. Were it not for you last time, we could not have gone to Moyale. This Committee is not given enough resources. Every single week there is always an incident somewhere in this country. In fact, not even one incident but several of them. So, I appeal to you to give us direction so The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
