    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the petition by the residents of Teri B Ranch. The petition was brought through me, and I am happy that the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations has worked expeditiously to look at the issues that were raised by the residents of Teri B Ranch. I must say that I have not read the Report. Apart from the fact that the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations visited the residents of Teri B Ranch, I have not been invited to any other meeting to look into the matter. I expected them to invite the Committee in charge of security in Taita-Taveta County to inquire why there has not been any prosecution despite the fact that people have lost lives and others maimed. It just confirms my fears that the people who are herding and causing insecurity in that region of Taita-Taveta County could be above the law and are protected by the law. Mr. Speaker, sir, I will not comment so much on this Report. I will look at the recommendations raised by the Committee. If they will not be satisfactory, I will request the Senate to look into the issues into details. As Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has correctly put it, the issue of camel herders does not only affect Taita-Taveta County but other counties like Kitui."
