    "content": "parts of the country are going through an education system and those from Samburu and Isiolo are not, it will have a lifetime implication. This is because it implies that they will eventually be unable to perform well in education. Even when issues of education are floated on the Floor of this House, it comes out clearly that North Eastern is languishing behind in performance. We are not going to have parity in education if we and the Government do not intervene to get life back to normalcy. There is need for life to get back to normalcy for the children in Samburu and Turkana to go through an education system, because it is their right. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it has also been said here that families have been displaced and they are currently living on the streets, which is very painful. If the conflict is leading to this, there is need for the Government to intervene with speed for the families to live together in peace. When families live in oneness, there is social security, which is a Constitutional right. Article 43(1)(e), clearly states that everyone has a right to social security, including the people of Samburu and Turkana. It is also constitutional that the people of this nation should be protected by law and in equal measure. The police should be very impartial when dispensing their duties because they have been employed to be impartial. They should, therefore,offer security to the people of this country without any form of discrimination. There is need for the Government to intervene in this case. Mr. Speaker, Sir, cattle rustling has become an economic activity. There is, therefore, need for economic diversity in this area so that people do not only concentrate on keeping cattle. Most people who are involved in cattle rustling are most likely vibrant and energetic young people. That energy can be diverted to other economic activities. There is need for this Statement to go further; there is need for investigations to be done so that justice can be served for the people of Turkana to live harmoniously, just like anybody else. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity you have accorded me. I feel humbled."
