    "content": "we charged anybody for mishandling a dead body? When the matter has become so serious and you want it to be felt, instead you are arrested. What are we demonstrating? This whole scenario of insecurity in the country must have a place where we are going to put it. Is it going to be at the desk of the Inspector General or the desk of His Excellency the President? Who is going to take responsibility? Investigations are happening. The insecurity between the borders of Nandi and Kisumu counties is arising because of cattle rustling and claims on farms. Indeed, hon. Midiwo has said it. Naman Abira was buried just the other day after he was shot with arrows in the presence of 13 armed policemen. Two of the policemen put down their arms to plead for peace with their hands. They put their arms on the ground, raised up their arms pleading for peace. The other stood a distance watching and they were under the command of the OCS. Nothing happened. A few days later, the same people again raided a police post and hurt two policemen. Up to now, nothing has happened. Now, hon. Aduma is receiving threats even after those things have occurred. Who is it that has so much courage that he or she can even send threats to a Member of Parliament even after that sordid act has been done? Something is very wrong with our security system. As we demonstrate our anger and disappointment on the Floor of the House, we must come up with a resolution on this Motion on what action needs to be taken. In my view, the Inspector General of Police in Kenya must come out in the open and tell us what action he is taking on insecurity in the country. If Kisumu County and the surrounding counties had police officers prior to the general elections, who were briefed in the way that they were preparing for war and to hurt others, time has come now for them to go back to where they came from, so that we have a proper force in Kisumu. We have a police system in Kisumu that is dominated by one ethnic group. If you look at the system of security in Kisumu County, there was a reshuffle the other day after we made noise, but the system has been, from top to bottom, dominated by one ethnic group, an ethnic group that is sympathetic to those who are hurting us. The Government must come in the open and say exactly what is going on and what it intends to do."
