    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Petition on extra-judicial killings and forced disappearances. I am a victim of those heinous crimes where I suspect security agencies were involved. There are too many security agencies in my constituency and we do not know who is responsible for them. When somebody disappears, we do not know exactly who was responsible and when we ask the leadership of the security agencies in the region, they always point fingers at different units and formations. I support this Petition. During the last election campaigns, as the leader of the Kenya Kwanza Alliance, the President promised us as people of the region that the issue would be addressed effectively in the next Government which is now in place. We want the Government to take responsibility for this. Mothers have lost their sons. Women have lost their husbands. Children have lost their fathers and the only breadwinners. I support this timely Petition. It needs to be taken seriously by the Select Committee on Public Petitions. Thank you."
