    "content": "before we do that we must be explained to as a country why the police have not succeeded in stamping out these bandits. You may recall - and Sen. Khaniri and Sen. Wambua are here - how they were teargassing us day in, day out, during our resistance days. Where are they today? We want to see that energy, enthusiasm, force and brutality translated into restoration of peace in Laikipia. It is not giving our country a good name. In fact, with an already weakened economy this kind of conduct in Laikipia is undermining investments in the country, it is destroying property, lives and, above all, I cry for the women and children of Laikipia. In a situation like this, the frontline sufferers are women and children. The men will take guns and run to the forest. The women will be watching over their children. They will stay at home knowing that they cannot leave their little children to the attacks of the bandits. In the process, they get killed. Madam Deputy Speaker, this matter must be taken very seriously. I urge you like the Senator for Nandi has said, that you direct at the end of this discourse that the Cabinet Secretary for security and all the security organs; that is, the DCI, the Inspector-General of Police and the head of NIS appear before a Committee of the Whole, so that we will be able to interrogate, properly and thoroughly as to why this is happening in Laikipa. This is because tomorrow it may be in Bungoma, Nandi, Mandera, Vihiga, Kitui or anywhere."
