    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to oppose this Report. I am a women representative in Nairobi. Up to today, I have people who ask questions I cannot answer. This Report does not give me the answers that I expected. We have a problem of lack of co-ordination within our agencies. Everybody knows it and we should call it as it is. There must be heads that will roll. If we want to be taken seriously as a House and a Committee that had joint membership of over 90 hon. Members, there must be somebody taking the fall in this issue. We have tenure of office for the sitting heads of our security agencies, hence the tying of the President’s hand to deal with this issue. I think this Committee should go and look at the issue of tenure of the three agencies that I feel let us down. The President should be able to change, or see how his security agencies work. If he cannot do that, then the buck stops right at his door. We cannot continue ignoring the obvious. That is why we were elected by the public. We were not elected to sugarcoat things. We were elected to say it as it is. Let us say it as it is. Those with tenure of office, and who continue to hold this country hostage in matters of security; we are not able to look at things differently; please give us a break. We will give you a good golden handshake, but please give us and the President a break. I oppose this Report."
