    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to seek a Statement from the Chair of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations under whose purview is internal or homeland security. The Statement I wish to seek relates to an incident in Bugoma County last night where armed thugs ambushed and shot a prominent lawyer, Peter Wanyonyi Wanyama, and fatally wounded him. In the statement, I wish the Chairman to: (1) Inform the House and the country what urgent steps are being taken to get to the root of this heinous crime. (2) Tell the House and the country why it took so long for the police at Bungoma Police Station to get to the scene yet the lawyer lives barely a kilometre from the police station. (3) Whether this fatal attack on the lawyer is a resurgence of the notorious insecurity incidents in Bungoma County over which you graciously allowed me, some three or four months ago, to move a Motion of Adjournment in this House where the House debated and expressed disgust and dissatisfaction at the state of affairs. (4) Inform and commit that no stone will be left unturned until the perpetrators of this heinous crime and the fatal shooting are dealt with, knowing that the residence of the deceased lawyer is only 1.5 kilometres from my own residence and, therefore, he is my neighbor. Even if he was not, I must show concern as the elected representative of Bugoma County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to request."
