    "content": ", yet he cannot move around and has to rely on other people to know what is happening. He is of no use. It is a waste of manpower to put a DO somewhere, yet he has no vehicle to move around. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to insecurity, a lot has been said. We support the Minister on that issue. It is very demeaning and even sometimes, we wonder if we are really Kenyans. When we tune to our radios, we do not hear of anything else but about who was killed where or who has stolen which goat, among other things. Insecurity is eating us up. I think we have the right Minister in the Ministry. He should address the issue of insecurity the same way he transformed the public transport sector. If we do not win this war, many other things will go down. We will also lose a lot because we will not be able to sleep well. We will also not be able to enjoy our lives. Insecurity will also affect our economy and everything else. We, therefore, urge the Minister to ask for the resources he requires and involve wananchi in policing. Let us have more ordinarily people involved in community policing. Let us police ourselves also. Let us be trained because we must be able to control insecurity. Otherwise, we will not be able to do any other thing. Of course we are worried about the insecurity which is manifesting itself just before our general election. We do not know what kind of elections we will have due to insecurity. Therefore, we would like to ask the Minister of State for Administration and National Security to conduct some research on how to deal with insecurity, from other countries. A few years back, we used to have a lot of insecurity in Uganda. There is a lot of insecurity in South Africa. We would like to know how other countries handle their security issues so that we can learn from them how to handle our situation. I always think we are better than other countries. I do not understand why we should be defeated to address the issue of insecurity in our country. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
