    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank the almighty God who gave me this opportunity to be in the august House. I also thank the great people of Lafey Constituency for having faith in me, and for the overwhelming support they accorded me to represent them in the 13th Parliament of the Republic of Kenya. My constituency has various challenges, with security being the major challenge because we border Somalia. This week, we had three terror incidents, the latest being early yesterday morning in a place called Alungu. There was a terrorist attack at the Safaricom mast, and one Kenya Police Reservist (KPR) was injured in the attack. We are yet to hear from the county and regional security team condemning the attack and assuring the residents of their safety. We urge the Government to move very fast to bring a lasting solution to this security issue. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I urge Government to develop a proper welfare for the KPR. This is because they are neither paid well nor insured, and yet they are in the frontline of the terror and insecurity. Lafey Constituency is the only one that does not have a single tarmac road. It also has poor electricity connectivity. It is the only one which has headquarters with a population of more than 10,000 households, yet electricity is only connected to 200 households. That is how serious it is. A month ago, they connected 197 households, and when I went to the Kenya Power (KP) to request for the other households to be connected, I was told that the meters were out of stock.
