    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, I want to thank the substantive Speaker for this opportunity for us as House to discuss a very serious matter within the country regarding the security of the entire country and also regarding the security and the scenarios I have personally witnessed in Wajir for the last four days when we did an adventure there with my colleagues. First and foremost, what I want to draw the attention of this nation to is that what it happening in Wajir is something which is completely unacceptable for a country which is now over 50 years old since the attainment of Independence. That translates that the scenario will deteriorate if anything is not being done in the country and in Wajir County. Definitely, it is going to deteriorate in Mandera, Moyale, Marsabit, Garissa and end up affecting Mwingi and Machakos counties. It will also affect Nairobi. I believe that gives us a very clear picture of how Al Shabaab get their way to Nairobi. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as Members of the National Assembly, we have a duty to protect this country when we are in this Chamber. It is unfortunate that we witnessed over 20 people being buried within the last four days in Wajir County. We have information about people who are misplaced. It is also clear that over 6,000 Kenyans are Internally Displaced People (IDPs) within their own county. This is very unfortunate and I believe it is time we stopped this business of looking at ourselves as Jubilee or CORD leaders in this country. As leaders, let us stand with the country at this hour of need and look for a solution to what is happening in the northern part of this country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is true that 14 primary schools have been closed in Wajir East. Wajir East, which is represented in this House by hon. Mohammed, has quite a number of IDPs who are going without food, shelter, water and security. This is very unfortunate. I would have wished the Leader of Majority Party to be in this House The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
