    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice to the Adjournment Motion brought to the House by my colleague. I would also like to send my condolences to the bereaved families in Transmara following the killing of 10 people. It is very sad in this nation to hear such cases of people being killed because of different issues. In fact, as leaders, we need to cultivate peace amongst communities particularly within the pastoralists’ communities, so that there is peace and harmony existing between the communities. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I represent Laisamis Constituency which is a pastoralist community, where we have also come across similar incidences. My community has moved from their respective constituency to Baragoi in Samburu County. Towards the beginning of this month, four people were killed in Baragoi by people believed to be from the Turkana community. They managed to take with them quite a herd of camel. That incident has been reported to the relevant security agencies and we have received quite a lot of promises that the camels are going to be returned. However, it is unfortunate that to date, the said camels have not been returned. I do not know what to tell my people because they keep on asking me how far the security people have gone to ensure that the camels are recovered. Every time they ask me this question, I call the security agencies in Baragoi and they keep telling me that the place where the camels are perceived to have been driven to cannot be accessed because of its terrain. I do not really understand how such a thing can happen in this country. We are in Kenya and not a foreign country. To be told there is a place where the security agencies are unable to access and unravel this kind of menace is unbelievable."
