    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding the mysterious disappearance and abduction of Hon. Yussuf Hussein alias “Tolfiyow”, Member of the County Assembly (MCA) for Della Ward in Eldas Constituency, which is my constituency. The constituency of the “father of Parliament” in Wajir County. On Friday 13th September 2024 at around 9.00 p.m., Hon. Yussuf of ID No.32026720, who is the MCA for Della Ward, was reportedly intercepted and abducted by people in two unmarked vehicles near Enterprise Road in Nairobi. Since his disappearance and alleged abduction was reported at Makadara Police Station under Occurrence Book Number (OB No.) 86-13-09-2024, efforts to establish his whereabouts through the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and other investigating agencies have not borne any fruit. The disappearance and abduction of Hon. Yussuf is worrying and alarming and is causing pain and anguish not only to the people of Della, but also to his family - all of whom continue to live in a state of fear and uncertainty. The safety and security of every citizen is guaranteed under the Constitution and is one of the roles of the Government. It is, therefore, the duty of responsible Government agencies to make every possible effort to establish and inform the family of the whereabouts of Hon. Yussuf. Hon. Deputy Speaker, such brazen attacks are not only unconstitutional, but you as a lawyer know that they are oppressive, malicious, ill advised and untimely. It is inhuman to abduct an elected leader and nobody is bothered to talk about it. The leader has been missing from Friday to date. Other than the ordinary police OB Report, no other official statement has been issued by the concerned agencies. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
