    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also wish to thank the Chairman. I do not want to shoot the messenger, but what is clearly coming out is the failure of our security systems and paralysis of Government. We are being told that politicians have militias and yet nothing is being done. Hon. Speaker, I thank you for your immediate ruling that we need to debate the petition that I presented on the Floor of the House. During that debate, many issues will come out. I also want to thank the Members of this Committee who travelled to Marsabit and were able to listen to the issues that were raised by different communities who live in Marsabit. At the end of the day, the responsibility must lie somewhere. Kenya is not Somalia or any other failed state. I worked in the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) for 30 years. I know the capacity of this country to bring any issue under control, fast and viciously. However, in this particular instance, my people have been failed by my Government. I will contribute on that after the report has been tabled. We will bring forth issues so that the Government apparatus can see where things have failed and what should be done. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
