    "content": "accompanied by police officers who are armed, and who had gone to plan an event which the President was attending, got abducted. This is a very serious issue. To date, they have not been found either by the armed forces or the police. That means if a chief who is well secured in an area in the north eastern can be abducted, then any Kenyan in Kenya, can easily be abducted and find themselves outside their jurisdiction. This is a very important Statement. We should do our level best as a House to make sure, first and foremost, these chiefs are found alive and safe, and to make sure that Kenyans are safe in the country. The biggest responsibility goes to the President, the Defense Forces and the Minister in charge of Interior and National Administration. Every effort should have been made by now to make sure they are back. However, abductions are not a new thing in the country. We have battled with quite a number recently. We had an MCA who was abducted eight months ago and was released recently. The circumstances have not yet been explained. Even our own Sen. Okiya Omtatah had a huge squad at his house, ready to abduct him one of the evenings, but luckily, he had left the place. Therefore, anyone of us can be in trouble. The final one is the one by Sen. Kavindu Muthama concerning the farmers cooperative SACCO, where land is being stolen right, left, and centre, and even where there is a dam called Mwongo. I had an opportunity to visit with my sister, Sen. Kavindu, and I realized, for those who are about to be compensated, those parcels of land have been interchanged with others. The Government is about to compensate the residents so that they can have a huge dam. However, scrupulous people have exchanged the plot numbers and want to benefit while the real owners go away without benefit. This House needs to rein in hard on that, so that justice is done to the people. I thank you and support."
