    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would plead with my colleague to allow me to speak for just a few minutes. I join the rest of the hon. Members of this House in saying that the whole country has been let down. Since November last year, some people have been gun-running, drug-running and carrying out money laundering in this country freely, while at the same time, the Government has been very busy disarming the Pokots, Samburus and Mungiki. It has not been handling the people who are actually threatening the security of this country. We should not handle these people who shamed us in front of the whole world. Today, the Government officials, or Minister who is responsible for this mess has brought even the Head of State to shame. It is not the Head of State who handles security matters but the people who have been assigned the responsibility to do so. Why have they, consistently, refused to do their job? It is for this reason that this House believes that they have something to hide. Time has come for hon. Members of this House to speak in one voice and say that enough is enough. We must tell the people in charge of the Government: \"Enough is enough. We cannot go on like this. You people are shaming us.\" Therefore, I join my colleagues in asking the Head of State to take charge of these matters. It is quite clear that some people in the Government, be they Ministers or others, are quite incapable of discharging their duties, are unwilling to do so or they are so compromised that they cannot act. Therefore, I would like to call upon those people to pave the way for other people to do that job."
