    "content": "deserving of protection, and security and the Government must prove that it can protect its citizens before sending its forces to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Mr. Speaker, Sir, these rural counties already face implicit forms of disadvantages. From marginalization, through developments. Some are dated back as far as historical injustices. When you threaten people’s livelihood, you are threatening their extinction. If the Government has the plan to wipe off some counties and some communities, they should tell us. Most of these people affected by insecurities in the Northern Eastern of Kenya and Lower Eastern are already minority communities. I reiterate that the national Government and its security forces must provide citizens with sufficient security with immediate effect. It should be a conscious effort aimed at providing security in rural areas just like in urban areas. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I challenge my colleagues on the other side of the Floor. It is said: “When a king has good counsellors, his reign is peaceful.” You are the people we depend on reaching direct to the ‘Chief Hustler’ to help us join hands on our side and ensure that there is security in the rural areas. Equally, with the same speed, they are doing in the urban centres. Conflict has been ongoing in Samburu County as far as yesterday. Despite the meetings that we have had with the security agencies, including the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Security and relevant leaders within the security docket, it is clear that there is a lot of delay in the provision of security for rural Kenya; especially Samburu County. The Chief Hustler should remember that the people who voted for him are looking out for his intervention. I challenge a leader like Sen. Cherarkey to come out and tell us whether his interest is the Coalition that he belongs to or the citizens of this country that he is supposed to protect and defend as an oversight House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you and I beg to second."
