    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to support this Motion of Adjournment. It has come at a time when we have witnessed a lot of issues happening across the country despite the Government making some effort to address those challenges. We need to be more strategic in our efforts and whatever it is that we are doing to contain deviance and insecurity. If it spreads in any part of the country, it means Kenya is unsafe. If people die in any part of Kenya, we have lost it. We need to do something about it. We are here today speaking about Turkana County. If we dig deep into what causes insecurity, we will realise that there are many issues that come by, like invasion of some kind, trying to scare people away from their localities, or trying to steal from others and to show some form of supremacy. We know that the Government has sovereign power. It is only the Government that can help us out. I would like to laud the effort of the Office of the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration. However, I would like him to focus more on specialization of the forces. I know that there are specially trained police personnel who can intervene in such cases. We need to see more deployment in some of those areas. We cannot just say that it is only Turkana, Pokot and other parts of the North Rift that have this problem. Insecurity is also in other parts of this country. Even as close as Meru County, we have issues with our neighbours in Isiolo. People are killed once in a while for some motives. Sometimes they do it to scare people from their land, invade their land to graze their animals, among other very flimsy reasons. The motive of killing needs to be investigated further. We have different departments within the security fraternity that can do this. It needs to be contained. The people of Turkana and other Kenyans in all parts of Kenya need to feel safe that something is being done to secure The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
