Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I had given a Notice of Adjournment of the House on a definite matter of urgent national importance regarding the escalating state of security in Laikipia. Hon. Temporary Speaker, we are all aware that the security of the citizens of Kenyans and their property is a constitutional right. As we speak, the residents of Laikipia North, Mukogodo East, and parts of Segera Ward have been denied that important constitutional right.

It is very difficult for Members of Parliament to go on with their daily duties while the people we represent are actually being terrorized in their own homes. They cannot go about their own personal businesses because of the terrorists called bandits. Sometimes, I wonder what this thing called cattle rustling is. Whatever it is, it is robbery with violence. And if it is robbery with violence, the robbers must be met with equal violence from the State. As I stand on the Floor of this House today, the residents of Laikipia North, from December last year to date, have ...

The other day, the President was in Laikipia on 12th March 2024. I raised the issue with him. The President is so passionate about making Northern Kenya secure. And while the President was addressing the issue in Rumuruti, in broad daylight, at midday, they shot dead Daniel Karisho, who was a very successful farmer and also a National Police Reservist (NPR). When the President was on one side of the county, the bandits were having an operation on the other side of the county. We will be burying Karisho on Friday. You wonder what he did to deserve that kind ...

As I wind up, Hon. Kamket is quoting me out of context. I just looked across the aisle and I saw him laughing. I am sorry. I do not mean anything. Those bandits are ruthless. They do not know any other language other than ruthlessness. The Government security agencies must treat them with the ruthlessness they deserve. They cannot use their families as human shields. I do not understand why people should go and camp with children in the heart of the forest. They do not go to school. They deny them their basic constitutional right to education. It is ...

We lost a Member of the County Assembly (MCA) in Samburu. Those bandits are now targeting leaders. Hon. Kiunjuri can confirm that they even raided my home and killed my herdsmen. As I stand here, I know that I am not safe anymore.
