    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a Statement which was requested by Sen. Leshore on insecurity in Samburu North, Samburu County. The hon. Member sought to be informed on whether the Government is aware of an incident where two people were killed and livestock stolen in Sujane area of Samburu North in Baragoi by suspected cattle rustlers on 9th March, 2015. Secondly, he wanted to know the action being taken to recover the stolen livestock and extend support to victims of the said incident. Lastly, explain the long term measures that the Government is taking to stop recurrent conflict in Baragoi in Samburu North, Baringo North and Turkana South regions to bring to an end the problem of cattle rustling. I wish to state as follows:- The Government is aware that on 9th March, 2015, suspected Turkana bandits attacked Sujane area and killed two people; Lepasi Lemetila, who was 14 years old and Legishi Lorikai, who was 30 years old. The attackers made away with unknown number of animals and disappeared into Suguta valley which is not accessible due to poor communication, visibility and network. However, plans are underway to provide aerial support to track the bandits. It is suspected that the attackers were on a revenge mission following the previous attack on 1st and 6th January, 2015, which is suspected to have been perpetuated by the Samburus, where three Turkana tribesmen were killed as follows; Lorwatan Lorisia, who was 25 years old, Losiria Akorot, 26 years and Ng’ilimo-Ng’irikale, 45years. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the following measures have been put in place to promote peaceful co-existence amongst the area residents:- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
