    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to make a brief comment on the statement that has been sought by Sen. Beth Syengo. A few days ago, I accompanied the Member of Parliament (MP) for Kamukunji to the office of the Inspector General (IG) of Police, Mr. Douglas Kanja. We were discussing the spate of murders across the country. I want to persuade my colleagues that this is a national security situation. It is not just something that can be defined along the lines of gender. In the past few days, we have also seen victims of the male sex being brutalized and killed in the most inhumane manner. I am sure all of you have heard the story of Willis Ayeko, the former Human Resource (HR) manager of Wells Fargo. There appears to be a problem in the country. In the case of the Kamukunji three, a mother, Waris Daud together with her daughter Amina and her neice, Nuseiba, were all killed. Their bodies were dismembered and scattered across four points; three in Nairobi and one in Machakos. In fact, some of the body parts were being recovered from South C after the bodies had already been brought to Nairobi. When I went to City Mortuary together with Hon. Yusuf, the MP for Kamukunji, I can say without doubt that it is the most inhumane act I have ever had to witness because of the extent of the mutilation of the bodies and the sort of torture that they must have undergone. There is a problem in this country if a criminal can pluck you from the street and move around Nairobi with a dead body on board, more than one dead body, in fact, throw a piece of you in Bahati, Parklands, South C and Machakos. There has to be a problem with the way our security system is organized. What happened to all the Nyumba Kumis we used to have? I asked the IG of Police, what happened to the command centre that I saw the former President launching, of all the Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) coverage in Nairobi.
