    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when I sought this Statement last week, all of us, including the speaker, and even the Vice-chairperson of this Committee agreed that this is a matter that needs urgent intervention and we need answers on what is going on in Laikipia. Even if there is an operation going on, why are cows, the only source of livelihood for those pastoralists, being shot and trodden upon by Government vehicles? I also sought to know why their makeshift homes are being burnt and everything is being taken away. On Tuesday, we were told the response will be issued on Wednesday, but it was not issued as promised. Yesterday, I rose and said probably there could even be some conspiracy because we are going on recess so that we continue to delay this while the people want to know why this is happening. It has never happened in the history of Kenya that livestock can be shot. Since the House is going on recess, I would like to rise on a point of order pursuant to Standing Order No. 45 (2) (a) so that we can further deliberate on this issue. I also have some photos I want to table in this House so that I can also help the Ministry officials if they are having a problem finding out whether this is true or not. We can help them with the evidence on what is going on in Laikipia."
