    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion. The people of Kitui are legitimate citizens of this country. The same applies to the people of Samburu County and other parts of the rural marginalized parts of Kenya. As such, they all deserve protection from the Government. Like the Liberian people said, “if the townspeople are happy, you have to look for their chief.” Kenyans are not happy. People in these towns are not happy. It is also clear that the administration of the day has more to tell us about the hot air. As the rural region of this country, we have been receiving promises that security is going to be tackled with speed. However, turns out that it has been nothing, but hot air. We have witnessed rampant insecurity in the Capital City and urban centres of this country. Consequently, we have seen the administration moving with speed together with relevant security authorities to contain the situation. However, we are not seeing the same swift response being replicated in curbing insecurity in rural areas. The people of Kitui cannot be butchered like flies. Neither should the people of Samburu County or Turkana County be killed like flies as if we do not have a functional administration. The people of Kenya in the rural areas are not voting robots whose usefulness ends the very moment a new President is in office. They are citizens"
