    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support Sen. Kibwana's Statement on the rise of entertainment joints and nightclubs in residential areas within Nairobi City County. This is a menace. We should support the Governor of Nairobi City County in trying to control it. This Statement has been brought to the National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations Committee. While I stand here, this problem is in Nairobi and countrywide. With this problem being countrywide, I want to speak about what is happening in Narok County. Because of all these nightclubs and night joints closer to residential areas, from January of this year, we have lost 22 people in Narok County who were butchered at night. Yesterday, I called the Inspector-General (IG) of Police and I requested him to take measures to control this thing. When I was travelling out of the country, I was called and told that one of my friends, who was also seeking voters to support him come to this House, his name is Olaldapash; his son was killed that night. Those people who killed him in Narok Town butchered him; I do not know whether they mutilated his body. It is just because of this issue of allowing these entrepreneurs to be all over. I think it is about time that we now zone our county headquarters. Nairobi County has got to be zoned. We do not need to have clubs everywhere. We can have a beer street for those people who like drinking. If you go to Nairobi West, there is a whole street which is a beer street. Why do we not just put everything there? Yesterday, I heard the Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, Hon. Duale, talking about the noise. It is not only about the noise, but people are taking advantage. It is very difficult now to survive in this country because of how expensive things are. I want to request that when the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations will be dealing with this Statement by Sen. Hamida, I would like them to also deal with the menace in Narok County. We cannot lose 22 young men. They are butchered at night while the security operators are there. This matter is reported to security and nothing is being done. I am grateful that yesterday when I spoke to the IG, he promised that he is going to take measures to ensure that he either changes the entire security people in Narok Town or at least gets to the bottom of this matter. This Statement is very important. We need to zone our cities. Clubs are normally associated with sinners and all that crazy stuff. We should just excise out a section in the City, zone it and call it Sinners Club or Sinners Area, so that we can go and do everything there. If you go and kill yourself there, shauri yenu . However, in residential areas, it is something that really hurts me. I support this Statement and hope that the IG and the Security Committee of this House will take action. Thank you."
