Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Mover of this Motion, Hon. Victor Munyaka. It comes at a time when proliferation of small arms and armed conflict is reaching alarming levels in Kenya. If you look at the pastoralists areas, for example, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

pastoralists have spent more money in buying firearms than in taking their children to school. You cannot blame them for that. If you look at the accepted ratio of policemen to citizens in the pastoral areas, there is no presence of police officers or security agencies in the region.
