    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to respond to the Vote of the Ministry of State for Administration and National Security. July 12, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2039 Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like at the outset to point out that the security department of this country needs to be supported, and we must remain patriotic in dealing with security issues of this nation. Having said that, it is hard to believe what we have seen in the last few months as regards security issues. It leaves a lot to be desired. When we take the example of the Artur brothers saga, you find that they came and assaulted our customs officials. They abused the Minister of State for Administration and National Security. They also challenged our Police Commissioner. We have the case of Lord Delamere who broke the laws of Kenya by, first of all, killing the late ole Sisina, and yet he was not jailed. We have forced disarmament of our people by the Government and that has exposed them to threats from outside this country. There is also mega-corruption in the Government of the Republic of Kenya, including those at the very top. The Anglo Leasing scam happened in this Ministry. This Ministry has also been cited as the most corrupt Ministry in this country, if not in the world. We need to be told how this money that we will vote for this Ministry will be spent. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government must understand that national security is the provision or safeguarding of citizens and protection of their property. I doubt whether this Government is providing these services when we have foreigners whipping out pistols in front of Government Ministers. It is also very ironical that a Government Minister comes to this House and says that these people are investors. Is it not shameful? All these things have been going on, and yet we are going to vote a lot of money for this Minister to oversee. The security department must be respected. We should not ridicule our security department. When we have a leader who is insensitive and unconcerned to the needs of the citizens, then we cannot accept that particular individual to be the overseer of this money and Ministry."
