THAT, the Government has failed to deploy security personnel in the area hence exposing the residents to insecurity leading to loss of lives and property. THAT, efforts to persuade the relevant Government agencies to restore order have been futile.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the debate about the insecurity situation in the country. Insecurity in this country is out of hand and the Government is not taking it seriously. Let me inform the House that for the last five months, there has been terrible fighting between my constituents of Nyaribari Masaba and those of Emurua Dikirr. In the last two weeks, five people have been killed and more than 10 have been maimed with some in critical conditions. The Government is not taking security seriously.

On 24th of August, I saw the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Interior and Coordination of National Government, Hon. Nkaissery and informed him that there was fighting going on between my constituents of Nyaribari Masaba and those of Emurua Dikirr and requested him to send security forces there. He never took any step. From that time more than five people have died and 10 are in hospital.

I took the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) money and built decent houses for police officers and requested the Ministry to post police officers there, but they have not done it. People from Emurua Dikirr have destroyed crops and burned houses. They are doing it day by day as the Government watches.

There are many Kisiis and my colleagues from Sotik who have bought land in Trans Mara. The people from Kisii have been displaced and their crops have been harvested by my neighbours and some have been destroyed. They have extended from Emurua Dikirr in Trans Mara to the interior of Kisii. As a Member of Parliament, I saw the CS for Interior and Coordination of National Government and informed him of the situation but four months down the line people are dying and no one is doing anything. The Government has not built the houses but I have used my ...

It is high time the Government took security seriously. People cannot fight for six months and yet the Government and security agencies watch as people die and do nothing. Two days ago, they sent the police who blew people’s heads away by shooting them. Instead of employing qualified security agents to stop this menace, the Government is not doing anything. It is high time the House invited the CS for Interior and Coordination of National Government to come The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ...

here and answer questions. We cannot watch people dying. If the Government cannot protect her citizens, who will do it?
