    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I thank the Leader of the Majority Party. I have not, of course, seen the Statement because some of the statistics I asked for I will probably be able to respond to them once I see them. But nevertheless, from what he has said on the Floor of the House, I want to say the Leader of Majority Party knows that the Statement is more about optimism than reality. He knows, of course, that since I asked for the issues to be elaborated, a lot more has happened in the country. We have the Chinedu affair, the ongoing industrial action by teachers and medical staff. I think, what it goes to show is that many times promises especially campaign promises tend to be like babies. They are very easy to make but very difficult to deliver and even to keep. But, having said that, when the Leader of the Majority Party says that security has improved in the country, I have to ask honestly where he lives. I know for a fact that he spent the whole of his weekend talking about security matters and as we speak, Mandera and Wajir are in a virtue state of warfare. If I ask the Leader of the Majority Party today to name how many counties in Kenya have known peace, absolute peace and tranquility in the last 60 days, he would have it more difficult than naming counties that have had strife. Kiambu has had a lot of problems, there were murders there about a month or two ago and we even see inhuman acts going on in Kiambu, so like the rest of the country Kiambu has had problems."
