    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is not really a point of order. It is a request to the Vice-Chair of this very important Committee. This topic of abductions, missing people and illegal detentions is very emotive. Two weeks is such a long time. I disagree. I do not know whether Hon. Amina is content with the two weeks; that is far too long for a missing relative. I do not know why you should accept that timeline. Can the Vice-Chair bring an answer to the House next week? The answer is on their fingertips. Liaise with the Office of the President and security agencies. There are two aspects to this matter and I seek your guidance. This country is governed by the rule of law. If criminal elements are abducting people, it is the responsibility of the Government to deal with them. If there are individuals within the security sector who are engaged in illegal abductions, they are giving this country and the Government a bad name. It is high time they are named, shamed and dealt with decisively in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic. Either way, it is the responsibility of the Government to protect the lives and property of the people of Kenya. Therefore, I urge the Vice-Chair to reduce the period from two weeks to one week so that the family can get a proper response. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
