Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe on the issue of insecurity in Laikipia County. This is a matter of national importance, and therefore, we must take keen interest in this matter as the Senate. As the peoples’ representatives, we must make sure that we handle this matter to a logical conclusion.

As we speak, there are several families that have been displaced and lost their loved ones. There are several farmers and pastoralists who have lost their animals. Therefore, it is important for us to deal with this matter with the seriousness it deserves.

.” Matiang’i listen to us: We are elected leaders. Address us with the respect we deserve because we represent our people. We have the right to talk to our people. Today, Sen.

Therefore, it is important and I still insist that the National Intelligence Service has failed us because up to now we are not even sure of what is causing the skirmishes in Laikipia. We do not know if it is the 2022 elections or if it is the problem of the rich versus the poor. I have been told that there is a very sharp rift between the White settlers and the pastoralists. We need to address these issues. Let the National Intelligence tell is the root cause before we start running around, arresting politicians, creating ...
