"content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, Sir. I want to comment on this issue of Garissa. It is not an issue we should be--- It has been happening. Last year such a thing happened, I think four times. Policemen and the locals there were killed. I do not understand what happens. Whenever there is a serious issue in the country, that is when you see all the Government systems going there instead of making arrangements to protect Kenyans. It is not only people from North Eastern Province who stay in Garissa. We have people from all other tribes there. The Government needs to be ready and prepared fully. At the Coast Province, they have deployed the GSU and army personnel. If you visit Mombasa during the night time you will realize that the ocean is really protected. The arrangements in a place like Garissa are normally that the police go there to do operations. They leave, say, five of their own there and after sometime they are recalled. The police there are working with dangerous people. You cannot take the Al Shabaab for granted; they are too sharp. We propose that you deploy army personnel there. As soon as the Al Shabaab will be through with that place, they will start moving towards Nairobi. They will come to Mwingi, then Thika. Very soon, in hon. Kamandaâs constituency they will be there. Last year we read of a case where they even tried to penetrate Parliament. We are requesting the Government to take this issue seriously this time by deploying the Kenya Army there permanently. The Government should not wait for people to be killed and then rush there to do operations and investigations."
