"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to also speak to this Motion. I empathise with our colleagues from Turkana East, Marakwet and Pokot areas. We empathise with the situation. As my colleagues have said, there are criminals all over in our communities. One may be tempted to point a finger at another person and say that he is doing one thing or the other. As rightly mentioned by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education, we had the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration yesterday. The same problem is also in the North-Eastern region, where children are not going to school. Normal life is not going on in those areas. The most important thing is that, as leaders, we need to talk to one another. We need to avoid a situation where we blame one another. We need to learn to co-exist. We have criminals everywhere in Kenya that we speak about. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am sure that even in the area you come from, in Homa Bay Town, there are criminals who harass people at night. I can confirm to you that even in Kabondo Kasipul, we have criminals but we are all trying to work together to contain them. Even within the police force, we have criminals. We have seen them battering Kenyans for no reason at all. We must reign them in and call them out. Therefore, I agree with my colleague that this matter is very serious to the security of this country."
