    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. First of all, allow me to congratulate the Leader of Majority Party for bringing an unsolicited statement on the security situation in the country. Whereas I appreciate the statement given by the Leader of Majority Party, I have two issues to raise regarding his statement. First, is an observation that, even though we get it well stated that our Kenya Defence Force KDF have not been deployed contrary to the Constitution, we are not against deployment of our KDF because they should serve this country. But we need deployment to be done constitutionally and the assurance is good enough. The only thing I would like to tell the Government is that such a matter is weighty; it touches on constitutionality. It needs to be responded to quickly, given that this is a “digital” Government. The Jubilee Government should be “digital” in its response, so that the country does not get agitated when they read some of these issues in the media. I agree with you, the media misreports things but you need to quickly correct it. Finally is a clarification that I would like to get from the Leader of Majority Party. The security situation in the country is worrying; in north eastern, western, Bungoma, Busia, Tana River and Nyanza - ten kilometres away from my home in Nyatike Constituency there is insecurity; about ten watchmen were literally butchered in a single day."
