For the last three or so months, between November, December and January, there has been relative peace along Kerio Valley, Turkana, and Samburu. However, it looks like there is a wave; some evil spirit has resurfaced for the last few weeks along that area. Banditry had gone down, and we were celebrating. In fact, at the beginning of the year, on The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate."

"content": "the 5th of January, we had some celebrations as Kerio Valley people because we had peace. However, I do not know what happened suddenly. The security teams need to establish the cause and use intelligence properly because it looks like there is some commercial aspect to this banditry. It is no longer normal cattle rustling. It has become more or less like a business. Yesterday, we buried two people in Elgeyo-Marakwet County. There is one who will be buried on Friday. This is happening in Samburu, Isiolo, Turkana and West Pokot. Why has it become so difficult for the security teams with the intelligence of the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and intelligence of the National Intelligence Service (NIS), who are being given a lot of resources? What are they doing with these resources if they cannot stem banditry within the country? This is serious. The team at the Ministry of Interior, National Administration, and NIS need to settle once and for all. Instead of focusing on development, our people are focusing on burying people and running around. It looks like we are not part of this country. Secondly, I would like to comment on the Statement by the Senator for Kisumu. Counties have not done valuation rolls to establish the actual value of properties. They need to account for the current resources they are collecting. If you check our water bills, there is an item called sewage and garbage collection. Basically, most of us here in Nairobi have garbage collections done by private companies; the counties do not do them. Why are they charging for a service and they are not delivering? They need to rethink and ensure proper public participation. Luckily, most Kenyans know what to do in case they want to increase. Basically, the courts are there to save us from additional taxation from the counties. These governors are not utilizing the resources they are getting from their shareable revenue and also what they are collecting. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to contribute to the Statement on Insecurity in Samburu County. Coming from Samburu North, particularly Baragoi, every day I sit here and receive news that I have lost a relative or someone I know due to a banditry attack. Even worse, lately, the issue has escalated so much that we have criminal syndicates that are attacking shops within Baragoi and other town centres. I rose to speak to this because I had a pending Statement that I was told would not be processed. After all, it was similar to the Senator’s. As we speak, I have just received information that an attack is ongoing at Soit Pus in Poro, near Malaso. Malaso is one of our only tourist attraction centres or sites shared by Samburu West and Samburu North. It is saddening that, indeed, it has become so normalized for Samburus to lose their lives. Residents of Samburu could be killed like flies, and there is no substantial action being taken by the Government. I feel irritated because it makes us political leaders look helpless. We cannot come to the rescue of our people. It is about time the government tells us whether it can secure the residents of Samburu County or if they should take care of themselves. It is about time we are told clearly what we need to do.

I have not seen any action being taken against these people, not even by the almost toothless Standing Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration. I have also heard of compensations happening for people from the farming counties. We had the Principal Secretary (PS) for Agriculture and Livestock Development the other day appearing before the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. I was surprised to hear that there has been compensation for livestock lost due to banditry and stealing. I have never heard of compensation to any northern counties."

We would like to see our people being equally compensated because reports of loss of livestock is something that is reaching the relevant ministries and authorities every single day, such that it has been normalised. As we speak, I have just got a message that 100 shots have been taken. We have 300 cows that were not returned by the authorities. It has been promises after promises. My people cannot continue living on promises; we need substantial action. There has been so much laxity as far as Samburu issues are concerned. Samburu people are not children of a lesser god. They are human beings who breathe and have blood running within their veins, not petroleum. I thank you."
