    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I may proceed. (2) The County also experiences violent disputes over land and grazing rights with neighboring counties of Samburu, Marsabit and Wajir. (3) Land adjudication at the Isiolo Meru border has also led to violent clashes between communities. (4) Several people have died as a result of inter-communal violence in Isiolo in the last six months. (5) State security organs have responded to the violence by burning homes and through other acts of communal punishment which has resulted in more civilian casualties and the death of one police officer. (6) As a result, learning in schools in the affected areas has been paralysed as schools have been closed for close to two weeks. I, therefore, implore the national Government to:- (1) Uphold the right and fundamental freedom enshrined in the Bill or Rights particularly Article 28 and 29 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 on human dignity, security of the person in its legitimate quest to maintain security and order in affected areas. (2) Uphold the principles of national security enshrined in Article 238 of the Constitution, especially the principle of legality and respect for the rule of law, democracy, human rights and fundamental freedoms. (3) Resist any urge for rush retaliatory measures and communal punishment against entire communities. (4) Ensure that persons breaking the law and threatening lives are dealt with in accordance with the law. (5) Urgently guarantee the security of schools in affected areas in order to ensure resumption of learning ahead of national examinations at the end of the year. (6) Explore and encourage alternative ways of dispute resolution in the affected areas such as traditional and inter-community dispute resolution mechanisms in order to open channels of inter-community dialogue.
