    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The reason as to why I am speaking on security is that it is paramount for all Kenyans. I commend the Assistant Minister for beefing up security in Eldoret. However, there were incidents where we had robbers that were arrested in Eldoret and they escaped from a police post. The able Assistant Minister should explain to us the circumstances that led to the escape of those robbers. I know that he is capable of arresting them because he has the capacity. We give him credit for having beefed up security in Eldoret. I want to urge him to do the same in all parts of the country. Another thing is that we have an Anti-Stock Theft Unit (ASTU) camp at a place called Chepchiren. The officers have occupied a farmer’s premises for the last three years. We do not have loss of livestock in that area and we wonder what those police officers are doing there. Who will compensate the farmers for the loss from this premise? Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would want to challenge the Minister to remove the police from that post and compensate the farmers for the loss. Lastly, because I know we are tired and we need to go and do gainful activities in our constituencies, I want to say that we require prayers for this country. When we pray for people, prayers should not be conditional. We have to pray. Kenya is 80 per cent Christian. When we attend these rallies to pray, we are exercising our rights as Christians. It is also very important to pray. I want those who think prayers are not important to be realistic, they need prayers even for themselves. I support the Motion for Adjournment."
