Madam Deputy Speaker, I support Sen. Iman’s Statement. We have too many challenges on security in this country. Our committee on National Security Defence and Foreign Relations visited Laikipia County recently. What we saw and what we were told was harrowing.

are pointing to a nearby thicket, that the bandits are right there. They come and raid in broad daylight, take away livestock, destroy property and kill people. Marsabit, Mandera, Garissa, Isiolo and Samburu counties are not any better, not to mention Turkana County. We urge the Government that banditry should not be an issue that we debate, cry and do nothing about it. I am sure the Government has the capacity and the means to deploy all forces available, especially if they want to deploy the armed forces and the army. They can bring a Motion to the House as ...

(3) Spell out measures, if any, put in place by the university administration and relevant Government security agencies to ensure the security and safety of students in and around that university following an increase in cases of attacks on them in the area. This is not the first, second or third brutal attack and murder of a student at the university in Kakamega. (4) Cause the Government to compensate the parents of the deceased on grounds of negligence by security agents in performance of their duties. It is a very sad story where a brilliant student of civil and structural ...

When the university administration was asked what happened, they are reported to have said the incident happened outside the university. That is a very callous, negligent and reckless answer coming from the university administration.
