    "content": "every citizen who is willing to say what is ailing this country. It is not enough to send security forces to undertake operations, particularly in a locality where the residents are living in cities or towns because you would not catch the criminals. Once they know that they are being hunted, they hide their weapons and run away. Therefore, you might not get the truth and you may end up pursuing other people who are not even involved in the criminal activities. The other reason I want a Judicial Commission of Inquiry to be appointed is because recently, we supported the fact that the Government should do everything possible to quell the killings in Garissa. We watched on television a story about somebody who was arrested by security forces in his home and his body found in Thika. Secondly, we also saw somebody who had been arrested and his wife was talking. This person was shown to the television. His wife talked and said that he had been tortured and burnt using electricity and later released. There must be something that we are not seeing. We need to go deeper into this matter. Therefore, I urge the Government, particularly as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations, to get to the root cause of this problem. We cannot allow people in Bungoma to be hurt. During the police briefing to the Deputy President, they said that the insecurity was political instigated. If politicians are involved, we would like to know who the politicians are. They should be brought to court as another speaker said. This is not just an issue that we should watch and see it happening. It must come to an end. If you go to a doctor, he will first ask you what is ailing you and you will, probably, say headache. He will then ask you: Unaenda choo ? You may say no and the doctor goes ahead to prescribe the medicine that he should give you. For us to catch these thugs, we must find out what is causing them to do the things they are doing. With those remarks, I beg to support."
