    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I wish to request for two statements. KILLINGS IN KITUI COUNTY The first statement is directed to the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations on the security situation at the Kitui-Tana River Border. In giving this statement, I would like to draw the attention of the Chairperson that on 17th July, 2015, a number of people were arrested and charged in court following the killing of 15 people from my county along the Tana River-Kitui border. I would like the Chairperson to give the progress of the prosecutions following the killing of these 15 people. Secondly, I would like to ask the Chairperson to tell this House whether the Government cannot consider training and arming homeguards to secure this volatile border and avoid risking continued insecurity at the border as the Government has done in other areas facing similar security challenges. STATUS OF CASH TRANSFER PROGRAMME My second statement is directed to the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. This concerns cash transfers to senior citizens and other marginalized groups. In his statement, the Chairperson should address the following issues:- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
