    "content": "raised it and the Chair ruled that the Chairperson would invite the Cabinet Secretary (CS) responsible to come to this House and address us on those issues. May I remind him to give us an indication of when we should expect the acting Cabinet Secretary (CS) to come and discuss with us the cash transfer programme. As it is now, the Government has even allocated more money in this Budget and yet the little money that is there now does not reach the people. That is one issue and the Chairperson is standing right in front of you. KILLINGS IN KITUI COUNTY Secondly, I am seeking a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on NationalSecurity and ForeignRelations. During the last two weeks, there have been wanton killings of the citizens of Kitui County by people coming from – we believe –the former North Eastern Province, crossing Tana River County and coming to disturb peace in KituiCounty. Cumulatively, 25 people have been killed in an area called Muthaa. During the last two weeks when we were on recess, five people were killed in Kasiluni in Ngomeni, two in Kaningo, one in Ukasi and one in Malalan. The whole border from Kitui South to Mwingi North has seen wanton killings by herdsmen who invade the county. We want the Cabinet Secretary (CS) to tell us, despite the meetings we have had including one with him, no action has been taken to date. We want the Government to come out clear and tell us: (1) When are these people going to be removed from Kitui County? (2) When is the Government going to arm my people, specifically, the police reservists with arms so that they can defend themselves in the event that these marauding herdsmen visit our county?"
