    "content": "I acknowledge that as an outsider, looking upon Parliament to intervene... This is a pattern that I have seen especially around the time we get to elections. In this exceptional time, it is extremely important for Members of Parliament to speak in a united voice. We need to address this problem. This level of insecurity or violence is unacceptable. As it has been said, every Kenyan matters. Secondly, I sit in the Select Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity and we got a chance to visit Samburu and Isiolo. We intended to also go to Laikipia. I appreciate and congratulate Hon. Sankok, but I hope that we will not leave this matter of such magnitude to be discussed in this way because we need statistics and information. As I conclude, I want to indicate that I have just returned from the first Global Parliamentary Summit on Counter-Terrorism and Violent Extremism. In the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), this is a major concern. In the whole world, we find that inequality and sometimes inefficient and ineffective ways of getting the three arms of Government to work in an accountable manner has been a problem. So, it is extremely important to address these issues because it was sad to see, for example, the way the citizens in Samburu were expressing some fear in terms of the manner that they were engaged with the security agencies. I do appreciate and support this. Thank you."
