    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would also like the Minister to address this issue because this is an unfortunate incident that took place at time when the whole country was congregating at the Bomas of Kenya on the second anniversary of the Promulgation of the Constitution. On one hand, we were saying that Kenya is a peaceful country and that we were preparing for the next General Election and yet the sad incident happened. It is high time that we addressed this and found out what is happening in different parts of the Republic of Kenya. You have seen what has happened in Turkana, Wajir, Mandera, Tana River and now in Mombasa. Certainly, there must be something that is missing. Either our officers are on a go- slow or some institutional structures have completely collapsed to an extent that we do not know what is happening in our midst. I want to inform the Minister as he responds to this that this is not an isolated incident. The security of every Kenyan is the responsibility of the State regardless of their religious, social, ethnic or any other affiliation. Therefore, I want to appeal to the Minister, as he prepares his Statement, to find out what is really happening and more so to treat this issue as urgent and address the issue of police reforms so that our officers are motivated and have legal mechanism to work."
