    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this time to contribute. Kenya is not a failed State. Kenya is a country that has a lot of respect both regionally and globally. Such issues that we see now, which are very unfortunate, is because the security apparatus who are supposed to face issues on the ground are busy facing cameras and addressing the nation on television. Kenya has a lot of specialised units that should be dealing with this and we spend a lot of money in paying for these units. One of them is Anti-Stock Theft Unit (ASTU), which has all the trainings. They must inform this country what they have failed to do. It pains us when we see the security apparatus addressing the nation and, in the background, we have gunshots. What is going on? Besides this, we also need to know how accurate are our security apparatus in those regions. They must face culprits and not citizens. It a shame to us because this thing is global. Now, every information is available worldwide especially when you see a mother carrying two children with some sheep and goats. It is painful in such a century where we expect such issues to be handled properly. When we look at this, I am also wondering where these perpetrators are getting their courage from. If you saw a tortoise sitting on a branch of a tree knowing very well that a tortoise cannot climb a tree, then you must know that somebody placed it there. We want to know, if this issue of insecurity is not being handled, who owns this? This is because maybe it is something that we have. Finally, why do we have such issues mostly when we are going towards elections? We must handle these things once and for all because, next year, it will be mixed up and we can get serious issues if we do not look at this one and handle it properly. When I was at Egerton University, we used to go to Thompson’s Falls in Laikipia for love making. Now, you cannot go to that area, and tourists cannot come. If these things continue in this country, we shall scare tourists with such kind of issues."
