    "content": "powerful are they that even after being driven out by security agencies, in a few weeks or days, they find themselves back to Laikipia County? Who actually owns these cows? That is the first question. How comes the herders come to look for pasture? We understand that there has been drought across the country. How comes those who come for pasture in Laikipia are armed with guns? They are armed with AK47 and with other very sophisticated weapons. Who speaks for the Officer Commanding Police Station (OCS) from Rumuruti who just three months ago was shot by illegal herders who had thousands of cows? Who speaks for the six police officers from my region in Matuiku area who were shot dead by illegal herders who were armed with guns? Their families are suffering today. Who speaks for the 3,000 small-scale farmers whose maize, beans, tomatoes, sugarcane and bananas have been wound up by thousands of cows? These are discussions for all of us. Who speaks for the 50 Kenyans in Laikipia who have been killed in the last one year? In fact, 80 Kenyans were injured in the last one year. These are questions we need to ask. Who speaks for that young lady in Matuiku who was raped in the presence of her family by illegal herders? These are the hard questions for all of us as a House."
