    "content": "confirm here that there has been insecurity because the relevant docket had not been filled. I think that these appointments have come at the right time. The pastoralist community has been recognized. The meaning of the name ‘ole Lenku’ is somebody who has been brought up in conflict zones. The President has done well to appoint somebody who has a lot of experience in security issues. I want to assure hon. Members that this nominee will handle those insecurity issues. I support the appointment of ole Lenku because of the theory of aggression. Anybody who comes from the pastoralist community naturally has the aggression to handle insecurity issues. The President was aware that the only person who can handle this docket is a person who has experienced insecurity. I want to assure Kenyans that the President has not made a mistake. In logic, one of the ways of getting experience is through reasoning. The other one is experience. So, ole Lenku has both. He is reasonable because of his academic credentials. Secondly, he is experienced because he has been brought up in an environment that has suffered insecurity. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm to this House that Kenyans from the pastoralist community have suffered so long. In the former regimes the people from Turkana county have been classified as others; not Kenyans. This is the time to act. We need to appreciate the people from the pastoralist community as Kenyans. They have the right to be protected. I expected the Government to appreciate the Turkana people because they have been safeguarding the boundaries of Kenya for over 50 years now. The Government ought to have empowered the locals there for playing its role. If the Government fails to protect lives and property of Kenyans then people will go back to the state of nature where they kill people and take property the way they want. That is exactly what is happening. The nominee should take the issue of security seriously. If that is not taken seriously then it will mean that the Government is not serious about matters of security. I support."
