    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion. I begin by sympathising and empathising with the families that have been affected by the spate of violence that has afflicted the western part of this country. Kiambu County happens to suffer from a similar fate for a long time. We, as a Senate, mandated by the law to take care of counties should realise that unless people are called upon in terms of accountability, then they will never solve problems. In Bungoma County, for example, we have the OCPD and PPO in charge of security. Unless these people are held accountable, the security situation will continue to deteriorate. We have a Committee, for example, as it has been mentioned by my predecessor here, on National Security and Foreign Relations and we can even go further as a Senate and demand that that team be held accountable so that it makes a report to the Committee of this Senate on the state of insecurity in that area. If we find it wanting, they should be reprimanded and adequate action recommended and taken against them. If we do not hold people accountable for the jobs they pleaded to do, then they will always apportion blame. I stand to support."
