    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is not the first time. I can produce the HANSARD to show that I have spoken in this House. This is just one year. Every year, we speak of this issue. What is the standard answer from the Government? The bully Assistant Minister comes and says: “I am going to improve security”. Which security, as we continue dying? Finally, I want to assure the Ministers of Government present; Mr. Obama, I am mourning. The President of America said: “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or time. We are the ones we have been waiting for.” I want to assure the Minister and this country that I am here to change the course of Turkana. I cannot sit here to allow a Government legitimately elected - and I gave this Government a lot of votes, for them to sit in their comfort zones; for them to purport to be doing work and they are not going on the ground to find out exactly what they are doing. I was called by a resident when he heard your Assistant Minister make that pronouncement of deploying personnel. He called me and said – and I was there on Saturday - not a single head of personnel has been taken there. Why are we lying to the country? Why are we making promises that we cannot honour? Why do we want to create a sense of security that is not there? Mr. Minister, one day, this Government will account for the lives of our people. We cannot continue supporting this. We will have to pay for it. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir."
