    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. My name is David Gikaria, Member of Parliament for Nakuru Town East. I rise to support my colleague from Turkana for having brought this Motion. I ask myself: Who are we talking to? Are we talking to the President or the Government? This is because these things started with the constituency of the Leader of Majority Party, and then there was Busia, Bungoma, Turkana and it is almost everywhere. Early this afternoon, we were treated to some circus in the formation of committees. What we need most is to have those committees in place. If we had them in place, then the committee in charge of security matters would have, at least, summoned the Inspector-General of Police or other relevant authorities that are in charge of security and take them to task. Of course, by virtue of the powers of those committees, we could be getting some answers because we will wake up every day and find that, as my colleague hon. Dado said, none of the 47 counties is safe. We are saying that because the insecurity is not only happening in Turkana, but also us in Nakuru. People are asking: Where is this Government? That is because recently, a very prominent investor in Nakuru Town, who has brought a lot of business and development there, suffered an attack. His staff were carjacked and his phone was stolen at gun point and one person was shot. That phone has a tracker and it can be tracked. Every day, the phone is being used with six different sim cards. This information was passed over to the District Criminal Investigations Officer (DCIO), but we do not get any support. I personally went to the DCIO, but nothing has happened."
