Thank you, hon. Speaker. Recently, we heard an executive order from the President where County Commissioners were given powers and we know very well that security is not a devolved matter; it is for the National Government. We also know that area is bordering with Somalia and two years ago, some officers who were issuing Identification Cards (IDs) were abducted by Al Shabaab .

Hon. Speaker, really, it is not that hon. Huka wanted to be seen. There are a lot of frustrations. The other day, we said we must look for a mechanism where the Cabinet Secretary directly engages with us. Is it really in order for the Chairman of the Committee to always come with scanty information? Mandera is at the border and you cannot see the difference between Bulahawa and Mandera which is in Somalia and Kenya, respectively. They have become one town. At night, it is being controlled by AlShabaab and during daytime, it is being controlled by the Kenyan ...
