    "content": "transmitted to every Senator and shall report the message to the Senate on the day the Senate next sits.” In the message, the Nairobi City County Assembly states that the Assembly had witnessed an increase in insecurity affecting Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) from vulnerable areas of the city. The Assembly further states that there had been threats to the lives of individual Members of the Assembly which had created fear and anxiety amongst the affected Members. The Assembly states that their efforts to have the matter addressed through the National Police Service (NPC) had not resulted in an effective resolution of the matter. The Nairobi City County Assembly, therefore, requests the Senate to look into the matter with a view to providing direction on the way forward regarding measures that the Senate may consider putting in place to safeguard the security of the Members of the County Assembly especially those from vulnerable neighbourhoods across the city and those whose lives are at risk, owing to the threats issued against them. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order No.42(6) I hereby refer the message from the Nairobi City County Assembly concerning the provision of security to the Members of the said County Assembly to the Senate Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations for consideration by the Committee. Owing to the urgent nature of this matter, the Committee is hereby directed to table its report on the matter in the Senate on or before Tuesday, 7th October, 2014. I thank you."
