    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Standing Order under which you have quoted the message from the County Assembly of Nairobi City County does not provide that we comment on the matter. But it has been our tradition that whenever a Member of this House or the lower House has faced challenges of security, we have always given it the seriousness it deserves. In view of that, I seek for your indulgence; that you allow me to observe that the issue of security is not only limited to the threats faced by the MCAs. Indeed, as late as yesterday, the life of a Member of the National Assembly was saved after a would-be attacker was shot by the MP’s bodyguard. Nobody is safe in Nairobi or Kenya. Even the President’s limousine was stolen. The President received a signature of shoes, stones and other things in Migori County. We should look at this matter beyond the request by the Nairobi City County Assembly and admit as a House that the Jubilee Government is completely unable to give security to officers and members of the public at large."
