"content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to rise and support the Motion as a Member of Parliament from Bungoma County. The situation in Bungoma with regard to security is worrying. By yesterday, people who were critically injured and in hospital were more than 20. As I am talking here, many people are not sleeping in their houses. Old men and women, fragile and frail as they may be, are actually sleeping out of their homes. This situation is running out of hand. It is very important that the Government looks into the situation in Bungoma. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to point at one particular case which, to me, is quite worrying. The Inspector-General of Police sent a team of security officers to help in investigations of the security situation in Bungoma. But one thing came out clearly and it is worrying. When they were having a meeting today, the Governor of Bungoma County sent his deputy to go and attend the security meeting. Surprisingly, the Deputy Governor was sent away from the security meeting. What is emerging is that there are conflicts of roles. The team met with the County Commissioner and District Commissioner. It is distancing the Governorâs office from security matters. What is going on as far as the roles of the Governor and the Deputy Governor are concerned with regard to security matters vis-a-vis the County Commissionersâ role in the county? It is important that those roles are clarified so that they come out clearly in order for the Governor to take control on security matters in Bungoma County."
