    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I understand the concerns of the Senator who has just requested for a timeframe. Security matters are very sensitive. His concern is that it may take long before we come back with the Government’s response. When the Senator for Kitui raised sensitive matters of security in his county, we took it upon ourselves to confirm what he said. Today, we resolved to visit Kitui County tomorrow and you approved our request. Yesterday, I spoke to the County Commissioner of the Eastern Region so as to affirm to him that this House takes security matters seriously. I have been a victim of that kind of a situation in Baringo North for many years. I want to assure Members of this House that we will do our best on any security matter as soon as we have the Cabinet Secretary in charge of internal security, the Principal Secretary and the Inspector-General of Police (IG). I am happy that this House will vet the Inspector General of police in the next one or two weeks. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to assure my colleague, the Nominated Senator from Samburu County, and all our Members that we will go out of our way. As of today, we have seven Statements. We should be the Committee with the highest number of Statements, but we have no option, but to deliver. Our Committee will invite the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government, once he has been sworn in, for us to agree on the action to be taken regarding the Statement. We do not want the delay to cause our Committee not to function. I agree with the Senator on the importance of time. We will ensure that we move with speed and give our response as soon as possible."
