    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a problem with my card and I cannot speak from there. Thank you very much for giving me this chance to support this Motion. Hon. Aduma is my brother-in-law and I am equally affected and pained for what has happened to my father and mother-in-law. It is only in a primitive country that a Member of Parliament reports insecurity to the police, his life is threatened, he takes a dead body to the Commissioner’s office to demonstrate the seriousness of the issue, comes to Parliament and reports the threats on this life and nothing happens. It is only in a non-civilised society that, that happens. We do not expect this to happen in a country like Kenya, but it has happened. It is pity that we are discussing this issue on the Floor of the House, but in the absence of the Leader of Government Business and the Chairman of the Committee concerned with security. In my humble opinion, this is a clear demonstration of the level of seriousness that the Government takes insecurity in this country. Insecurity has not just hit Kisumu County. It has now become a national problem. Time has come for us to look at what is happening. When hon. Aduma felt frustrated, he decided to demonstrate the seriousness of the issue by taking a body of a victim with arrows on the body to the PC’s office. That was to show how serious the matter was. Instead, he was charged with mishandling a dead body. I agree as a lawyer that the offence of mishandling a dead body is there in our Penal Code, but how many times have The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
