"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, this afternoon I may sound unusual because of trying to do what I should never have done. I am wondering why Sen. Mositet decided to bring this kind of Motion. He did not just want to come and be heard talking, but it is as a result of desperation. This country is so desperate because of insecurity. From desperation what follows is anarchy or chaos. We are just about there. There is nobody in this country who will tell you that his life is guaranteed by anyone. I am saying this with a lot of pain because I have gone through these things. People in Laikipia County and all over Kenya have suffered. I do not know what miracle will avert the situation which is becoming very dangerous. All Kenyans feel that they are not protected. Every evening a person must be abducted or somebody has been killed at his gate as he enters his compound. Here you are telling the people of Kenya that you are protecting them. Time has come when they think they should protect themselves. It is good that we are trying to do this legitimately through the Senate and other institutions. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is the climax of desperation and people are willing to do anything to protect themselves. We cannot have criminals coming to our houses 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"
