    "content": "When the Standing Committee of the Senate on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations visits Laikipia County on Monday next week, we will collect facts that we will use to invite the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government to appear before the Committee together with other organs. This is so that we can resolve the matter for the people of Laikipia County to be free from any internal or external interference. It is the responsibility of the National Government to provide security for its citizens. Mine is to assure this House that the Standing Committee of the Senate on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations will visit Laikipia County on Monday. I urge the Senator for Laikipia County to make himself available for that visit on Monday. He should find us a meeting venue where we can meet with people because that fact-finding is what will guide us to invite the Cabinet Secretaries before our Committee. I would like to send a stern warning to the bandits that they shall not be tolerated anywhere in this country. Kenya is a democratic Republic and has a right to protect its citizens. This county has all the weapons that we need to deal with the insecurity in Laikipia County. We make our weapons manufacturing company in Kenya that was launched by His Excellency the President. I am sure that the security machinery has enough weapons to deal with the bandits. Madam Temporary Speaker, I can assure you that our Committee will solve the issue of insecurity in that region for once and for all. I urge all the Members of the Standing Committee of the Senate on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, to be ready to fly to Laikipia County very early on Monday, so that we can report our findings to the House on Tuesday next week. I thank you."
