    "content": "I stand to add my voice to those who said that the CS Matiang’i, the IG, Mr. Natembeya and anybody in that line should resign. If we were any civilized nation, those people would have resigned by now. Instead, we have been subjected to seeing CS Matiang’i having catwalks all over the country opening dams and so on, in the last few days, and not addressing this serious security situation. Madam Temporary Speaker, I add my voice to those who said if he was a responsible CS, he should have resigned by now. Clearly, he has been unable to manage his docket. He does not seem to have a plan and seems clueless. That is why we continue having these issues. Laikipia is happening now, but we have seen it in other parts of the country such as the Kerio Valley. If the police are unable to restore order, it is so serious that then, the army should be deployed to go and do that. We cannot just say that the army should be guarding the borders when, clearly, the police seem unable to restore order in that place. We have also seen the CS catwalk to Parliament to the National Assembly where he invited himself. I would also like to tell my neighbour, Sen. Outa – he knows why I call him neighbour – that we shall be watching him. I am assuming you will invite the CS quickly, and he should not come there to be sanitised or for Members to be falling over each other trying to praise him. That is why he has a ‘big’ head both figuratively and actually. He is praised when he should actually be held accountable. We expect the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations will do the right thing and hold that Ministry accountable and make sure what needs to be done is done. We do not want to see a praise and worship choir. If that is the case, Members, we should impeach these Chairmen and Vice-Chairpersons and Members from those Committees. I know Sen. Outa is up to the task."
