Hon. Deputy Speaker, the following measures have been put in place to address the resurgence of raids and banditry in the constituency: (i) Peace committees are actively engaged in bringing the warring communities together.

• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: traders are well secured all the way from Kotulo to Mandera and Takaba to Mandera and back.

• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, let me proceed. (ii) Marakwet East Constituency has rugged terrain and impassable routes, which hamper swift response to incidents by security personnel.

• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the chance. I have heard the frustrations of the Members but the manner in which the Statement was sought, the six questions asked did not refer to anybody who was killed. Probably, in the body or background information before the questions were put across, they may have alluded to that fact. In which case, I asked the CS if he had any supplementary information to give regarding those who died. He did so and I have forwarded this to the Member as an attachment to the Statement. view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: On question no.1, as to whether the drivers are paid, the response is there. The CS has stated clearly and I am not defending him that officers are not paid to provide security since this is their core mandate. On the last question on why the transporters are asked to surrender their vehicles, the CS has said it is advisable that all traders including miraa traders report to the authorities any form of intimidation to enable investigations. So, he has attempted to answer in the manner written there. He has also alluded to the fact that he is not aware ... view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: I totally agree with you that if this happens, we have it in the form of a question. The Members will come and ask supplementary questions, like we did in one of the committees by submitting evidence on information. For example, those who have paid police officers probably have been given receipts or any evidence we can use to pin them down. However, indeed they are paid to offer those services. Away from that, I can only submit this as it is and explain in the manner I have. Thank you. view
