Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. As we support the Statement from our distinguished colleague, what we are seeing happening in Laikipia County is a terrible shame to our country. It is actually collective shame to all of us. Yesterday, for the whole day, the British Broadcasting Cooperation (BBC) world service was beamed on Laikipia, probably because there are several British citizens who live there.

before we do that we must be explained to as a country why the police have not succeeded in stamping out these bandits. You may recall - and Sen. Khaniri and Sen. Wambua are here - how they were teargassing us day in, day out, during our resistance days. Where are they today?

Madam Deputy Speaker, this is about the second time in the last two or three months that Mr. Taratisio Ireri has brought very good Petitions to this House. I want to support the Petition and enjoin the distinguished Senator for Kitui County in what he has already observed. In this country, through successive governments and successive years very good ideas aimed at alleviating poverty, suffering and other deprivations of our people always end up being cash cows for the privileged.
