"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to say this and I want to speak for Kitui County in particular. Between the border of Kitui and Tana River counties, we have no issues. But there is a big buffer zone between us and Tana River which is a forested area which is seriously infested with people of Somali origin. They are armed and are always attacking our people. I want it to be on record that two months ago when the President of the Republic came to launch the Kibwezi-Kitui Road, our Senator, David Musila, told him on the face the problem we are facing. He gave a very casual answer. He said, “We will look into this.” I want it to be on record that since then up to yesterday, we have lost well over five people through cattle rustling, especially in Sosoma Division in Mwingi District. We are losing not less than three people every month. I want it to be on record. We have requested the Government because those guys are armed. Why can the people in Kitui County not be allowed to use home guards? We have volunteers all over."
