    "content": "I come from Marakwet West, but I was born and bred in Kerio Valley. For the last few months we have had a lot of issues, two of our children who were in class three and five respectively, were killed last Sunday by cattle rustlers. Many teachers have left the region and especially those who do not come from the locality because of insecurity. I want to ask the incoming IG to take time and deal with cattle rustling once and for all. In the Report, I have seen he said he will involve communities, churches and local leaders. We neighbour Tiaty Constituency and there is a big challenge there because residents do not have villages. We request the IG of Police to set aside resources for putting up villages for these people. I have discussed with the MP for Tiaty that it will be important for his community to have villages because they live in the bush and do not have homes. We should help them to put up villages and drill boreholes for irrigating crops so that they can leave this backward behavour. I also want the IG to pay the National Police Reservists (NPRs) their allowances. They have been working for the last three years and have not received any allowances. We want additional NPRs to protect us. This is because it looks like the police are unable to deal with cattle rustlers from Tiaty Constituency who just roam around everywhere - they go to Samburu, Marakwet and Turkana. I urge Hon. Kamket to help his people, using the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) and Equalisation Fund, to set up villages instead of having them roaming around. Thank you, I support."
