    "content": "A driver who was driving from Eldoret to Tot was killed by bandits in a place called Kapkomin and the car was left rolling. Fortunately, the police were not very far from there that evening. They saved the other passengers and took them to hospital. I have attended more than 15 funerals in the last one year in my constituency, Marakwet East Constituency, and about five in Marakwet West Constituency. We have lost over 20 people. In a place called Mon, an old man, a mzee, was killed two weeks ago by bandits. They chopped off his head and they went away with it. We spent more than a week to go and look for the head of that mzee who was killed and maimed by the bandits. More than 1,000 livestock have been driven away within a span of six months from Elgeyo Marakwet County. Countless number of livestock have been taken from Baringo South and Baringo North. While we visited a place called Bartabwa with the Deputy President, a chief was killed less than five kilometers from where we were. In fact, at some point while we were still addressing the meeting, there were gun shots and people left us. There are a number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps in Baringo, in a place called Kipsaraman, Bartabwa and others. When we talk about insecurity and the fact that those bandits are ruthless, we know what we are talking about. I have held more than 30 meetings along Kerio Valley with my constituents, the Pokots, the Chairman of the National Cohesion and Integration Commission, Hon. Francis Ole Kaparo and the Deputy President, His Excellency William Ruto. We have held so many meetings; not just this weekend. We have held so many meetings in the last two years with Hon. Kamama and Hon. Rotino. Sadly, we have not been able to hold the same meetings in my county like in Baringo. In fact, while we were in Baringo mourning with those people, they were having a rally in Narok celebrating how they are going to bring down the Deputy President. So, when we discuss the matter of security in this country, you do not need prompting to be invited to come---"
