I had informed my neighbour and good friend, the Member of Parliament for Mount Elgon, about the concerns of the people residing in this region. I would like the Minister to clarify, in his Statement, whether, indeed, there are elements of the SLDF that have been holding meetings and reactivating the network of this militia group. I would also like him to indicate what steps have been taken to investigate and nip in the bud this serious threat to the security of the people in this region. I would further like him to confirm whether the Government has, indeed, established a military base in the region, as promised in the year 2008, to act as deterrence to activities of militia in this region."}
