    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Allow me to join my colleagues from the north-eastern region, who have raised this issue of insecurity in their areas where Kenyans have been kidnapped and they cannot be traced. Hon. Deputy Speaker, recently, I heard the Cabinet Secretary for Defence claiming that he was going to do everything within his ability to ensure that the menace of Al-Shabaab is cleared. We are really failing as a country. The fact is that the question of homeland security in our country is something that we have not addressed properly as Government. To date, these issues are everywhere. Other than the Al-Shabaab question, there are insecurity issues across the country. In my constituency, thugs and robbers are roaming around. I was surprised when our President said that he was willing to go to Haiti to help. We urge this Government to be serious and focused. You cannot claim that you want to go to Haiti to address insecurity issues there yet people are being kidnapped in your own country, and thugs are roaming all over. You cannot even handle them. Let us be a Government that is going to be very serious and address our own challenges. This is the moment I need to air my views on the Haiti issue. I know it will come here. However, I know this Government is fond of making obvious mistakes. This Government does not even listen. They just wake up one morning and make pronouncements that have no basis. In line with the challenges we are facing as a country, the Haiti issue needs tackling."
