    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this matter is much bigger than insecurity and people are dying. It is a sign that we are heading towards a failed state. This is not a matter that we should just debate for two hours and end it there. I would like to tell the Minister that mobilising members of a particular community when there is insecurity and promising the world is not enough, yet he does not deliver. He needs to take a proactive approach, for example, call us for a Kamukunji so that we can discuss this matter deeply. The ten minutes that I have been given now to discuss this matter is not enough because I will not be able to point out areas where he has failed. I will not, for instance, be in a position to point out areas where the police force is failing and where the administration is unco-ordinated. We have cases where the Assistant Minister, Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security had people killed in his compound. Is that an indication that we have a safe state when people are killed in the compound of an Assistant Minister? This is not a light matter. It is not a mere insecurity issue. It is a State issue. Because the issue is about how the State machinery is responding to matters of insecurity, we need to get a more comprehensive approach by focusing on this matter much closer than we are doing now.
