    "content": "I condole with the family of Mr. Ochieng’, Ms. Karen, and all those who lost their lives during this time. Indeed, it is very painful that the lives of sole bread winders have been taken away due to the murders. This has implications on their families. When it comes to school fees and other basic needs, their families will be deprived. Article 43(3) of the Constitution says that the state shall provide security for people who are not able to provide security for their significant others. This is a socio- economic right that we should endeavor as a Senate to ensure it is implemented. The issue of insecurity is all over. It is not only in Kisumu, and there is need for us to pursue the right Committee to ensure that it does investigations. Madam Deputy Speaker, when murders are committed, it is not an impromptu murder. They are usually planned activities. One of the roles of the police is that they should be able to detect murders or such crimes. The Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights should investigate from the police whether they have arrested anyone or whether they have been able to detect. If they have not been able to detect we need to know why. I also call upon the Committee to investigate about police patrols. If police patrols are going on in Kisumu, how come no one has come to know the murderers? The people who are being murdered are professionals; teachers, nurses and all that. There is a need to investigate what exactly is happening in Kisumu, so that the issue is arrested. It could just be the same people who are doing the same acts. They need to be rehabilitated and brought to book, so that it does not continue, because this trend will continue in Kisumu. It is something that we really need to stops. I believe that the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights will do something about this issue. I thank Sen. Nyamunga for bringing up this issue on Floor of the House so that it is addressed. Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker."
