    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, although the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations is not in the House, I will proceed to make my intervention. I have had an opportunity to look at the report that was tabled yesterday by the Committee. The Committee made good observations in this Report. They observed that despite the Constitution provisions under Chapter Four on the Bill of Rights recognizing various rights and freedoms of every person, several rights and freedoms of the Teri B Ranch residents, including right to life, protection of right to property, economic and social rights and access to justice have been blatantly violated over time. That is true because the people of Teri B Ranch do not have right to life because some have been killed and others maimed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee also observed that camel herders from North Eastern Kenya have moved to Teri B Ranch in Taita Taveta County in search of pasture with hundreds of their livestock leading to wanton destruction of farms and crops. Efforts by local communities to resist forceful occupation of their farm lands and water points have resulted in brutal violence and destruction of private properties. It is true that there are so many camels that have invaded the land belonging to the residents of Teri B Ranch. However, when the communities try to resist or remove the camels from their farm lands, it is resisted by the herders. The camel herders kill or maim the community members. That was a good observation by the Committee that visited the residents of Teri B Group Ranch. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
