    "content": "The formation of this Select Committee was found necessary because of the problems that this country has faced from the mushrooming gangs of young Kenyans, who have lost hope. As a Member of this Committee, I am aware that we have tried to stay within the time line given by this House, but the task given to the Committee is enormous. We have traversed this country. We have been to Mount Elgon. We have been to Western Province and other areas, but it is clear that the problem is larger than we thought. As the Committee has been going on with its work, events have continued unfolding. An example is the Mathira killings, and what happened in Kirinyaga recently. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we were mourning the deaths of 29 young people who were brutally murdered in Kirinyaga and Mathira, we heard about the Sungusungu in Kisii. They are emerging every day. So, this is a Committee that needs more time. It is not just time that we are seeking to be extended. In fact, we are asking that more resources be made available to the Committee to facilitate its very important work. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
