    "content": "were murdered in cold blood by bandits from Tana River. The police came and arrested them. In the last communication, the Chairman indicated that the culprits were arrested and that investigations were ongoing. I wanted to find out what became of the cases after these investigations. It is incumbent upon the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government to tell us what became of those cases because they opened the case files. This answer gives us a situation of only five murders yet they were 15. They told us that they had arrested 15 people. What is the position of all the other cases? Lastly, is the issue of police reservists; we had asked for the deployment of police reservists at the border because this is a very serious matter. It is a pity that people are killed and assistance from Government is not forthcoming. The Cabinet Secretary has indicated that they are recruited on need basis owing to various factors such as increased number of incidents. What is the Cabinet Secretary waiting for if these 15 murders are not enough to warrant the recruitment of these officers? I agree with the Chairman that the response to the statement is not satisfactory. Once again, the best you can do is to let the Cabinet Secretary come here and respond. I am sure that there are other hon. Senators with other issues of security in their areas. We appear not to have anybody to deal with the issues that we are talking about. It is a grave matter, if it can take one year and the Government is doing nothing; then, they said that they do not deploy reservists unless there is need, yet 15 people have been murdered. How many people need to be murdered for the Cabinet Secretary to realise that it is a serious matter?"
