"content": "They have done that in Uganda and Ethiopia. Why is the Kenya Government not keen to use the Army to protect our people from external aggression? We are wondering what the people across the border feel about the Government. Those citizens in Marsabit and Moyale feel that they do not have a Government. They say they are not being protected. That is true. The Government must take action otherwise the people will start complaining that they are not being protected. That is the worst thing for any citizen to believe. The awareness of the people of this country is so high now. They know what is happening. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, recently, the Military conducted a recruitment exercise throughout the country. Why did they not recruit more people from those borders? These are people who know the terrain and they can die for their own people. We do not want people who when they cross a lagga with a small Land Rover, they say: \" Gari limeharibika, turudi !\" I really think we should develop some of these areas because that is the only way we can bring these people together. Before I conclude, I want to say that the insecurity in North Eastern Province and all other areas could spread to the other parts of the country."
