    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order 46 (2) (b), I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) operations in Lamu County. In the Statement the Chairperson should:- (1) Explain the circumstances that led to the redeployment of the KDF to Lamu County and especially to Boni forest. (2) Explain why there are attacks by Al Shaabab Militants on Lamu county and Kenya despite the presence of KDF in Lamu. (3) State whether the Government has intentions of employing more strategies on securing persons who travel by bus to and from Lamu, given that the current strategy of escorting the buses by security personnel is not effective as several buses have been attacked and people injured. (4) State whether the Government lifted the night curfew and banned all night travel in Lamu and further, explain why Lamu residents are being harassed by security personnel at night. State the measures the Government has put in place to secure the Kenya borders and Lamu County, so as to allow people who are internally displaced by the insecurity return back to their homes and resume their normal lives. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
