    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have two requests. The first one is that I had put a request to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government on the threats of evictions affecting the slum dwellers of Kipsongo in Kitale. That statement has been in abeyance for over a month. I would like to know what is happening to it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the specific one I am requesting today is a long one, but I will do a brief one and submit the lengthy one to the Minister, so that he can respond accordingly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security on the state of insecurity, lack of law and order and general lawlessness in the Turkana County in the last two months. In his statement, he should clarify the following: The circumstances surrounding the attacks, the day they took place, where, the number of the attackers involved and actions taken by the security personnel. I would also want him to confirm to this House the number of residents who were killed, injured and displaced and the number of livestock taken away by raiders. The Minister should also clarify if there were any livestock recovered and culprits involved arrested; how many schools were affected, how many innocent teachers were displaced and how many children and other civilians or residents have been affected by this resurgence of attacks. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would expect him to tell this House the short and long term measures the Government of Kenya is taking to assure security in the Turkana County and to pacify the long suffering local communities. Finally, when will the Government give ammunitions to the recently recruited Kenya Police Reservists whom it has been identifying for the last two years? If possible,"
