    "content": "The intelligence service advises the police. Before the police get involved in any issue, 99 per cent of the information they have is relevant because it is gathered over a period of time. The police do not just go out in the streets and begin arresting criminals. These are criminals who are tracked down over a period of time and they would have committed quite a number of crimes. You will be surprised that the police have been dealing with people who have committed multiple murders in this country. This is because impunity was introduced into security. Security was politicised. It involves life and death. It does not involve politics, and yet Members of this House continue to persuade the Government to accept that security can be politicised. As we try to bring order, I am sure that we will continue to get the support of this House because there is nothing as devastating as having to worry about a danger which you cannot define. Kenyans had been brought to that situation in the recent past. September 11, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3819 Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman Sir, I did not want to make a speech but I want to clarify that this is not a matter to be played around with. This is not a matter to search for international recognition with. It is the lives of Kenyans which is in danger and they must be protected. I happen to have that responsibility, which I will discharge very efficiently! Thank you."
