    "content": "Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it gives me a lot of privilege to second the Motion which has been introduced to this House by my friend, the Senate Minority Leader. As we have stated before, it is a commitment that we have given to this country and the leadership of the political parties in this House. On matters that touch on the good of our country, we will stand united, firm, unapologetic and extremely robust in terms of defending the interests of the people of Kenya who sent us to this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of insecurity is a matter that is of concern to all of us. In this country, we have witnessed mind boggling cases of atrocious crimes committed by our fellow citizens. Perhaps, they who have been unable to appreciate that a country that respects itself cannot be a country where people do not live in peace, harmony and their properties are protected. Mine is to say two things: First, the Jubilee Coalition Government has committed itself to tackle the situation of insecurity head on. The Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces has made it extremely clear in his speech and through other avenues. The Deputy President is directly involved as well as other officials of the Government. The second point is to say that as a country and as Members contribute on how we can improve security in our country, we are looking for solutions in our country. The era of blame game and shifting blame for cheap political scores is gone. This country requires each one of us whether in the majority or minority to offer concrete solutions. Having said that, I want to say that from the majority side, we stand with the solidarity of the people of Kenya and we want to see the security situation improve in our country. With those few remarks, I beg to second."
