"content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to support this Motion because there is so much insecurity in the land. I come from not so far away from Busia, that is Siaya. That is very close and you never know because the insecurity is moving closer home. The Government needs to take over and look after those who are in hospital. What I saw last night on television was actually a patient whose hand had been cut off. The Government needs to take care of the bills. The Government should be in a position to protect its own people. When the President was here to address us, he said that security is one of the pillars that he would be addressing. So, far, I do not see any Minister in charge of internal security. What is happening? Why the delay? Who are we going to address this issue to? I think it is high time the appointment of a Minister in charge of the internal security is done so that action is taken. The Government also said that it would hit the ground running. I think there is laxity already. I am afraid that the longer they take, the worse the situation gets. After all, the same Government said that for every 400 people there would be one policeman. What is happening? Why are they taking long to act? I am getting worried that the country is going to be held to ransom by criminals, if we do not move very fast."
