    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I sympathize with the people of Pokot for the suffering they might be going through. I also sympathize with them in suffering both in the hands of the bandits and the few soldiers who might be misbehaving during the operation. Let us get a few things clear; first, the KDF are not in that area illegally nor are they in that area unconstitutionally. This matter bothered me so much that I went to look for the Kenya Gazette. On 5th December, 2013, the Clerk of the National Assembly wrote to Joseph Kinyua giving the approval for the Kenya Defence forces (KDF) to be deployed in some areas. The letter reads as follows:- “I, Justin Bundi, Clerk of the National Assembly, hereby convey the following resolution of the National Assembly. That pursuant to Article 241 (3) of the Constitution, the National Assembly by resolution passed on Thursday 5th December, 2013, approved the deployment of the KDF for 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”. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this was in a gazette. If anybody wishes to see it, I have got it here."
