    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this Statement. As this Statement is required, it should never be lost on us that the Constitution has established organs which are accountable to Parliament. Therefore, this question is being directed to the proper organs of Government. Otherwise, you cannot bring the people of Kitui here to tell you why there is insecurity there, because there are constitutional organs that have been given that function. When I was in Turkana recently, I was so happy to hear people from Karamojong saying that their security organs have been trained to deal with cattle rustling as security organs. On the other part of the border in Uganda, they were not experiencing the same kind of difficulties we have in Turkana and Pokot. Conscious of what Sen. Khaniri has said, this question is about banditry, which is a criminal activity. The only organs that can be accountable on that basis are those that have been established under the Constitution. I hope that when that answer comes, it will be exhaustive on the question of banditry in Kitui. This is because this is not the first time it is being brought to this House. I think the Inspector-General (IG) of Police should be made to appear before us in Kitui, to tell us why this is taking place in that part of the world. I thank you."
