Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me ride on the statement requested by Sen. Dullo. As you remember last week on Thursday, you gave a ruling that within 48 hours, the Department of Interior intervenes on saving the starving communities of Suiyian in Samburu County. Up to now, nothing has been done. There is no interim report that has been tabled in this House to show us what interventions the Government has taken on these starving communities. Secondly, on the statement requested by Sen. Dullo, we have seen in the media that there are several counties that are suffering from the effects ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me inform the Chairperson. I do not know if he is aware that it was reported in the media that elders of the affected families have threatened to kill their children because they have nothing to give them. In Samburu North Constituency, for example, there are over 400 Kenya Police reservists and a camp of anti-stock theft of more than 100 officers. There is an Administration Police (AP) camp. However, the cattle were driven from Suyian to a nearby village which is not more than 25 kilometres. The police and intelligence officers are aware ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me put it in this perspective; if the police had invaded the ranches or the Laikipia Conservancies and killed all the livestock there, killed all the cats, dogs and horses, I do not think the Senate Majority Leader would have requested for more time or formation of Committees. It would have been treated as an urgent matter which needs the Government’s attention and response. Now, for us, we cannot wait for the formation of committees. We have seen people who have been impoverished by police officers; who do not discriminate but shoot at will. In the ...
