    "content": "the country. There has been intention by the Government to disarm civilians. It needs to be taken very seriously to the last man. There are operations sometimes where people are apprehended and firearms are collected. This exercise needs to be done thoroughly. It is possible. Our Government has capacity to do that. I call upon the Cabinet Secretary and the police, even with the support of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), to disarm those who have illegal guns, which are being use to kill people. Hon. Temporary Speaker, even as we talk about it, we should not forget that the Government has an obligation to protect Kenyans and make sure that they are safe wherever they are. We need to feel safe to live and invest anywhere in this country. No tribe or community in this country should feel insecure to go about their businesses. We need to support our people to feel secure. The only way we can do that is not only by appearing to be working but also have an impact in what we do. I call upon the different arms of the Government involved to take this issue very seriously. When Members bring such issues and we discuss them often, it means they are important and we need to be taken very seriously. I call upon the various arms of the Government to act accordingly. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
