"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other issue that I want to address is security. Security is of paramount importance to our people in this country. Since the deployment of our military forces in Somalia, North Eastern Province has experienced insecurity due to the closeness of that region to Somalia. Quite a number of incidents have taken place. There have been a number of explosions in Mandera, Wajir and Garissa, but our internal security mechanism does not seem to be up to the task. Whenever such things happen, no arrests are made and no prosecution takes place. We wonder where these criminals who cause problems to our people hide. If our security forces are inside Somalia trying to help our neighbour, why can they not nub the criminals in Kenya and carry out explosions? How can they be free, go around and even use our transport system and yet, they are not arrested? The other day, there were explosions in Nairobi. Some people were arrested and released the next day. Nowadays, we can see people going to churches and other places of worship to throw hand grenades. They kill people, maim others and destroy property, but nothing happens. I am asking the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security what they are doing. Where is the investigative arm of this Ministry? Are they up to the task? If our military forces are doing something useful in Somalia, then we cannot leave our security in Kenya to the dogs. We must be able to handle it."
