    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also want to support this Motion. There seems to be a curse in Marsabit County. Some years ago, because of the insecurity situation in this area, we lost some leaders. One of them who was a dear friend and the former Member of Parliament for Nakuru Town, the late Mirugi Kariuki. The late hon. (Dr.) Godana who was the Deputy Speaker at the National Assembly and Minister for Foreign Affairs at one time was also there. It was thought that the Government delegation that went there would deal with the insecurity in that part of the country once and for all. However, that was never to be. I want to say that once violence is accepted as a way of life, it is difficult to disrupt it. There was a time in Uganda when you could not stop in the city. There was a time in Uganda when you could not stop anywhere in Kampala. If you were not escorted, you were not sure whether you could get to your destination. There was a time when Beirut City was totally in chaos. It took the intervention of the relevant governments to bring peace in Kampala and Beirut. The situation in Marsabit cannot be left to go on. We cannot start wondering why there is insecurity in that part of the world. The Constitution has made it very clear on who is responsible for security. That is the national Government. That is not a shared responsibility. In fact, there are some who have tried as much as possible to make security a responsibility of the two levels of Government.
