    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is very sad. It is sad that a serving Member of Parliament (MP) has not only lost his life, but that it is being reported that the main suspect was an Administration Police officer. I do not understand what is happening. Is the problem the discipline in police, the command or corruption? This is happening on the backdrop of police killing five innocent people in Angata Barikoi in Narok County. These are serious questions that we must ask. We must demand that security be restored in the country. I am pleased to tell whoever is listening to me that, today, I had a lengthy discussion with the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, Hon. Kipchumba Murkomen. Over the weekend, I had told him that he must up his game. This is because under his watch, it is starting to look like the security of the country is going down. I am happy that after our discussion, he has not only given me his assurance, but also sent me with condolences to the family of the high school teacher, Roselinda Akinyi, who was also killed and robbed of her cash in Mumias Town. He has assured the people of Kakamega that he will personally go there to attend to the rising insecurity. What is more, the police have quickly moved the County Commander of Kakamega. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have to insist that the Government delivers on security. A family can just go about without anything or everything else from Government. However, security is the one thing that the Government must guarantee our people. This country has many cases of leaders who have lost their lives in a similar manner. We look forward to a time when Kenyans will know that you do not have to walk anywhere in the country looking back over your shoulder worrying that somebody can take your life. May the soul of Ong’ondo Were Charles rest in eternal peace."
