    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Assistant Minister to clarify an issue regarding the security problem in Western Province. In the recent past, in Kiambu, we have had a situation where adherents of the Mungiki sect have been harassing people, killing some of them, and the Provincial Administration went out of its way and said that it would overhaul the whole security system in that area. However, the following day, the Commissioner of Police dismissed that statement by the Provincial Administration. So, being in the Ministry in charge of security in this country, I would like the Assistant Minister to assure this House that his Ministry and the police are in charge of security matters, and that the Police Department and the Provincial Administration are working together, so that we do not have confusion being displayed in public. Secondly, I would like him to assure this House - the Minister of State for Defence said that the Government was willing to negotiate with the Mungiki sect members over the Kiambu skirmishes - that they are not going to negotiate with gangs like the Sabaot Land Defence Force and members of the outlawed Mungiki sect."
