    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to add my voice to what the Hon. Member has raised. The situation is very bad. We have raised these issues and tried to solve them through the security agencies but have been unable to get support. You might know the delicate situation on the ground in terms of the fact that, that region itself was already insecure in terms of infiltration of Al Shabaab insurgents who are also bringing firearms into the town. Since 2023, we have been addressing the same issue with the security agencies. Young people are carrying daggers and swords in the middle of the town in broad daylight robbing and stabbing young people. Several people have been killed or stabbed by these sword-carrying gangs. They are known to the security agencies but no action is being taken. We want the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee to take it seriously and engage the national security team. We need an overhaul of our security leaders at the county and the constituency levels. The incidences are mainly concentrated within the Garissa Township Constituency. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
