"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset I would like to condole the people of Bumula and Kanduyi in Bungoma County, and the people of Amakura Division of Teso South District. I want to join my colleagues by saying that it is the responsibility of any Government to make sure that it protects the lives and property of its people. What is happening in Bungoma and Busia counties is extraordinary security situation. Gangsters are waking up early in the morning in a rural Kenyan setting, not to steal anything but to slash children, women and the elderly. After this attack, an operation was mounted by the Kenya Police. This is particularly in Bumula, Kanduyi and Teso. A number of arrests have been made. I want to confirm that 48 persons were injured. Among them were 20 men, 18 women and ten children. This is not the age when we should have this kind of thing in Kenya. If we look at the Budget Estimates that the Government has laid on the Table today, and if hon. Members scrutinize that Budget, particularly the allocation to the security organs, they will find that many resources have been earmarked for what the Inspector-General of Police requested. This includes more resources for equipment,"
