    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have two Statements to seek. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations concerning insecurity along the Turkana and West Pokot County borders. In the Statement, the Chairperson should:- (1) State if he is aware that the leadership of the two counties entered into a mutual agreement that as a first step to end insecurity in the area, no construction or any other development should be undertaken by either side without the concurrence and full participation of the other. As a result of the agreement, there has been relative peace for the last two months. (2) Explain whether he is aware that the Turkana County Government is currently constructing a road from Kainuk in Turkana County to Sarmaj in West Pokot County thereby reneging on the agreement. (3) State if he is aware that as a result, tension is now building up between the two communities and; (4) Explain what the national Government is doing to forestall the rising tension and prevent a flare-up of violence."
