    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Kathuri for that information. As much as I agree with his last statement, if he wants me to provide evidence that sometimes there are attacks from Meru County, then I can. However, the bottom line is that we need to have a safe environment where we protect our people and properties. That is the most important thing. Secondly, as far as freedom of speech is concerned, I agree with my colleagues that there are many problems in the counties. Individuals cannot comment about particular leaders because they believe no one can talk about them. It is democratic for anybody to comment on whatever they feel is right. As leaders, we need to protect the freedom of speech in our counties. It is unacceptable for a governor to wake up and threaten anybody who comments about them. We need to protect the freedom of speech in our counties, more so, for the journalists who are doing their job. Some of them are forced to take money to write information against other individuals, which is unprofessional. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to do something, more so, when we go to carry out our oversight role. There are many challenges on the ground. The Senate and security agencies need to protect our people in the counties. I thank you."
