    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, just to repeat, I said my name is Malimo Arbelle, the Member of Parliament for Laisamis. First and foremost, I would like to thank the Almighty God for the great favour he has bestowed upon me to serve the people of Laisamis Constituency. I would also like to express my gratitude to the people of Laisamis Constituency for the great honour and respect accorded to me to serve them as their representative in the august House, the 12th Parliament. I reaffirm my total commitment to serve my people faithfully and diligently, given that however much is given, much is expected. I would also like to congratulate you and Speaker Justin Muturi on your election. Let me also take this opportunity to congratulate each and every Member of this House for having been elected in their respective constituencies. Finally, let me also congratulate our President, His Excellency Hon. Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, for his dynamic leadership to propel this country to greater heights of prosperity, particularly for uniting the people of Kenya. I want to remind the leaders that our ethnic diversity should be taken as strength and not as a threat. I support and acknowledge the President’s Speech which was very inspiring. It emphasised the issue of peace, security and fostering national unity. In line with the Presidential Speech, I wish to point out that the community I represent - the Rendile - are pastoralists who keep moving from one place to another in search of water and green pastures. Due to the devastating drought currently experienced in the country, particularly in Laisamis Constituency, my people have moved to the neighbouring county of Samburu. My people’s livelihoods and existence entirely depend on livestock. While they were in Samburu County, my people were attacked by heavily armed bandits, who managed to kill four people, injured scores of others and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
