"content": "I can go on and on about almost every county. Last week, when the substantive Speaker was on that Chair I said that we have the Cabinet Secretary in charge of security. When we ask the Chair of the Committee to talk on matters of security, honestly we are not being fair to him. He is a Member of Parliament. His job is to legislate. His job is representation; his job is to oversee the Executive. It is affecting every part of the country. Why do we not, as a House, engage directly with people we pay to look after our security? We have Mr. Iringo who is paid to look after our security. We have Mr. ole Lenku whom we approved in this House to look after our security. We have the Inspector-General (IG). We come here and we are given answers which are basically hot air. They go nowhere and no commitment can be given because we are not paid to give commitments. Therefore, I am telling the House that security does not select. Security does not discriminate. When security fails, we are all victims. It is not political. It affects our children. It affects us personally. We cannot even come to this Assembly when our security is not guaranteed."
