Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are many Somalis in Laikipia County. Last time I attended a Muslim wedding, I understood that the virginity they refer to here is not biological, but that a women should not have been married before.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. From outset, I have listened to Sen. Sakaja keenly and he insinuated that when we invited the Governor of Nairobi, all he did was to lecture us. On the contrary, when we invited the governor, we invited Sen. Sakaja as well and he told us at that particular meeting that he was satisfied with the way the governor had answered questions. The governor said that he was waiting for a Bill that was in this House, The County Governments Act, to be passed so that he could appoint his ...

Asante sana, Bw. Naibu Spika. Naunga wenzangu mkono kwa kutuma risala zetu za rambirambi kwa familia ya watu wa Vihiga waliothiriwa na jambo hili. Ukosefu wa usalama limekuwa donda sugu katika nchi yetu ya Kenya. Kuamkia usikuwa wa leo, Kaunti ya Laikipia katika eneo la Kimanjo, watu walishambuliwa na watu wanne kuuwawa. Wazee wafuatao waliuwawa; Bw. Lekietei, Bw.Lekishulai na Bw, Lesamaita, na hakuna chochote kilichoibiwa. Inaonekana kwamba watu hao waliwashambulia kusudi ili kuwaondowa katika makao uyo.

Katika sehemu inayofahamika kama Mwenje, Bw. Richard aliuwawa na ng’ombe wake wakaibiwa. Ukosefu wa usalama ni jambo lakutatanisha sana. Kamati husika inafaa kuzingatia ukosefu wa usalama katika Kaunti ya Laikipia, hasa tangu kuondolewa kwa askari wa National Police Reservist (NPR), kwani kumekuwa na ukosefu wa usalama sana. Watu wanashambuliwa na kuuwawa. Kamati husika inafaa kuzingatia jambo hili kwa undani. Tungeomba Kamati inayohusika iangalie kwa undani haya maneno, na tushughulikie jambo la KPRs. Wakati KPRs walikuwa katika sehemu ya Laikipia, mambo ya usalama yalikuwa mazuri; lakini tangu watolewe, tumekua tukifedheheka na kuwa na shida kila wakati. Asante, Bw. Spika.
