    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. My condolences, sympathy and empathy go to the family of hon. Aduma Owuor. I know he is facing quite a trying time. Losing a father and a mother at the same time is really tragic. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think we are getting our priorities wrong in this country. This country’s priority number one should be security, number two security and number three security. Security has been a festering issue in this country. The people in northern Kenya have had the feelings and pangs of insecurity in this country. The pain and the agony of the people of Turkana, Samburu, Garissa, Wajir and Pokot--- Fifty years down the road, we are the most insecure people. Today, the other parts of the country are also in pain because of insecurity. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this country has been controlled by gangs; the Amachuma, Chinkororo, Al Shabaab and Mungiki. A ll are out there killing, maiming, kidnapping and injuring people left right and centre. I have been a victim of thugs. Hon. Leshore and I were shot and maimed and up to this date, those people have never been arrested. They are at large and nobody knows where they are. We need a paradigm shift in the security of this country. A paradigm shift in the sense that business as usual is no longer the thing; we need to transform our security because thugs are becoming more sophisticated. We have thugs who are highly educated; graduates out there on the streets who have no jobs to do. Our universities are churning out about 50,000 to 100,000 youngsters who have no jobs."
