    "content": "I would like to say that as we try to maintain security through the Government, it is my duty and other Members’ duty to ensure that security is maintained. Maybe we could find ways for dispute resolution. For instance, I have come to find that some people could be fighting over resources and clans. This is particularly in North Eastern Province. This is what I was informed by a friend when I tried to find out why there is war all the time and yet in central Kenya, for instance, in my county there is none. We have to apply dispute resolution. We have to acknowledge that our security department has been demoralized. There is no motivation for this department to maintain security. When we looked at the Budget, we saw, as my colleagues have said, the deficit. Security is always a sad story in this country. In a nutshell, you cannot even describe it because sometimes what you see the police go through is unimaginable. We only came to learn that police is the only group or category of workers who do not have a medical facility where they can go with their family or children in case one falls sick or is injured in line of duty. They also face housing challenge and other challenges. So, it is time the Government worked hand in hand with the residents as we maintain security and see the way forward. It is time we thought about this department as we speak about the economy, food security and many other aspects. It is also time we saw security as a major drive to the other sectors. I wish to say that let us all be responsible, there is no government somewhere, the government is me and that other person. I thank you and I beg to donate a minute to my neighbour."
