    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me take my three minutes to say what I want to say very quickly. First, I do not agree with this House urging, approving and initiating anything that has to do with deployment of the army to an area of this country that has not been invaded by outsiders. I do not agree or support. Earlier on, the Attorney-General said that legally, what we are trying to do here is wrong. He even said that he does not agree with this Motion. So, who are we urging to act if the legal advisor to the Government has already said on record that whatever we are doing is not right? Let me be clear that we, as Kenyans and the Members of Parliament in this House, are very sensitive to the issues that are happening in Tana Delta. So, let Members of Parliament from that area not try to make us feel guilty for rejecting this Motion, or in the guise that we are not supporting them. What I want to ask specifically is whether we have a President and a Prime Minister in this country. Do we have an Executive in this country? If we are saying that the defence forces have to go to Tana River, we are simply saying that the police have failed."
