    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, I really want to thank the Member who has just moved this Motion of Adjournment. It is high time we gave proposals that are going to the end this insecurity. Last week, I travelled to some place in Marakwet to attend a funeral where the deceased had lost his life through a gunshot. Looking at the eyes of the Marakwets and the mourners, I realised that they were so desperate in an environment where there is a Government that was elected to protect and save lives. As the leadership, we need to make proposals so that we can get a permanent solution to insecurity in the North Rift and the entire region because it affects five communities, namely, the Turkana, Pokot, Tugen, Marakwet and the Samburus. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, even the leadership from the county governments, Members of Parliament and the MCAs must take responsibility. I believe most of these incitements where people cross the borders to kill others is beyond cattle rustling. Last week, we were told that a mother who had a five-day old baby lost her life. We need to take the challenge to the people in charge of security. Before we even think of deploying the KDF, we need to involve our internal security apparatus. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) in charge of security and the Inspector General must come up with ways and means of bringing this problem to an end. They should ensure that schools are reopened. At the moment, over 40 schools in that region have been closed. So, you can imagine the number of children who will miss school because of insecurity in the area.
