    "content": "We must sanction the Inspector General of Police (IG) and his team. It is not acceptable in the 21st Century that Kenyans are kicking one another in broad daylight when everybody is just watching. Some people complain that the bandits have sophisticated weapons. These are our young people. We should deal with it. I do not also agree we can deploy the army without any proper process of law. Police should be able to deal with that. I think there is laxity. Our police are very busy stopping vehicles on the roads and just collecting shillings here and there. It is important that this matter is dealt with. The matter could go to no better place. It is our job as leaders of this country to treat matters seriously. Let us be serious and deal with this matter seriously. We are very busy dealing with very petty issues meant for 2022 politics where we do not even know whether we are going to reach. We are debating on who will be what or where in 2022 politics and who will succeed who and so forth. These are petty matters. Even our CSs have become politicians. These have been vetted by Parliament, but they are now busy trying to see how best they can be close to the powers that be, so that they deliver people to whatever destination. Let the people who are in Government do their job. Let the IG and the person who is in charge of security do his job. Let other sideshows be left to politicians and leaders such as Sen. Wetangula and others. Our CSs must do their job. The buck stops with the Ministry of Internal Security and Coordination of National Government led by my friend Dr. Matiang’i and the IG. Let them do their job. We cannot accept this. As said by my colleagues, these people must come before this House and explain to the Committee where Sen. Wetangula and I, are what is happening and what they are doing or not doing."
