    "content": "The security of leaders must be taken seriously. Our colleagues do not want to say the truth; they are saying that security should be given for all the other Kenyans. Every Kenyan is entitled to security, but leaders are entitled even more because they have more enemies. So, we must seriously sit down with the Inspector General of Police and discuss our security. We have lost so many leaders. When you lose a leader, there is a chain of people; a very big loss to the whole country. It is not just a loss for the family. It is a loss for the country because this man was a very able legislator. He was also a very passionate representative of his people. I attended so many meetings with him. In every meeting I attended with Ong’ondo Were, he was always passionately speaking on issues concerning his people and making demands. That is our role. Our role is to represent our people because not every one of our people can come here and talk for themselves. This is where the resources of the country are shared and he wanted his people also to get their fair share. He has been very, very passionate about the representation of his people, demanding that they get their fair share of the national cake. I know that in this role, one acquires very many enemies in the process. This is the case with so many of us here who are doing their job. However, there are people who see you as the enemy because they see you as wanting to entrench yourself forever in that seat. It is not because you want to entrench yourself forever, but it is because you are passionate about delivering services to your people. Mr. Speaker, Sir---"
