Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I had pressed the intervention button earlier on. However, I am in agreement with that proposed amendment to delete that proviso.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I come from an area where there is wildlife. In Laikipia North there comes a time when the population of Zebras and even monkeys grows to very large numbers and they become a menace to farms.

Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I sought a Statement sometimes back from the Chairs, Departmental Committee on Lands, Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security and Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations on a matter that is very serious and concerns my constituency. We have had invasion of land and cattle rustling. Currently, we have trafficking of arms after a particular police patrol base was removed sometimes back. I sought that response and I thought that the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government would respond but as things stand today, nothing has happened. I have not been ...
