    "content": "Thank you hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek clarification from the Leader of Majority Party on the issue of security, and specifically the measures the Government is taking to address this matter, its root cause, and dealing with senior security officers, who over a time have been transferred whenever insecurity has erupted in the areas they are in charge of. We know that they keep on moving around the country, but we know we are dealing with the same officers, who are incapable of addressing the insecurity problem in the areas they have been in charge. The Government is not really solving the problem; it transfers the same problem to other parts of the country. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to ask the Leader of Majority Party to explain to this House why one particular arm of Government has become a target of attack by strangers who camp outside this Parliament when we know that we have the Judiciary, the Executive, State House and Harambee House, where any of the kind of demonstrations we have seen at Parliament cannot be allowed. What security measures is the Government taking to ensure that the dignity and the respect of this august House is observed in the light of the constitutional provisions of free expression, the right to picket and assemble, which we respect. But that has to be done with the respect of hon. Members of this House being taken into consideration. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
