    "content": "and then he tells his wife that her work is simply to scream if she sees anything, and then he goes to keep vigil outside. Is this Kenya 50 years after Independence? I want to tell my colleagues in Busia and Bungoma counties that they are not alone in this problem of insecurity. Just the other day, raiders went to Narok County and killed people. They were allegedly from Tanzania. There are many areas where bandits are raiding without those cases being reported. In my own county, every now and then at the border with Tana River, raiders are coming from that neighbouring county and killing our people. This morning I read in the newspaper that yesterday there were raiders or bandits – whatever you call them – in Nyandarua, the story is the same. There were also attacks in Kiambu. So, this is not a matter limited to distant counties. It is a nationwide problem. What annoys me is that whenever police officers are unable to arrest criminals of this magnitude, they always blame it on politicians. They say that it is politically motivated. For goodness sake, if it is politically motivated, why do they not arrest those who are responsible? They are using politicians as scapegoats when they cannot do their work. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the NIS is busy tracking politicians and doing other things that they are not supposed to do whereas this institution is a national security intelligence. The purpose for the national security intelligence is to detect and get the intelligence information on the intended areas to be attacked, but not to just follow politicians. These are people we are paying very well. They are the best paid public servants and yet they do not do their work. You have heard Sen. Boy say that even if you report to the police officers, they ask you for fuel. They tell you to go back to the place and if you see the criminals, again, you call them. Whatever is happening in the police The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
