    "content": "nation if the murder of 50 innocent Kenyans does not? This is not even for the Minister. This is where the entire Government visits the spot. We want to see the Government empathising with Kenyans when such issues come up. We want a settlement of the issue of resources of Lake Turkana – the fish and the water. We have no quarrel with Ethiopia for trying to dam River Omo for the benefits of its people. But it must sit down with the Kenyan counterparts, so that the use of the resources of River Omo, are shared in accordance with the international principles. Why are we asleep? Why are we allowing Uganda to take Migingo and Ugingo? We are not saying that we use aggression against our neighbours? Why is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs failing? What is the matter with us? This is something that the Government must wake up to. We need to take care of foreign relations and the issue of security at the border, internally. Who is killing Kenyans and dumping the bodies in a manner reminiscent of the Kwekwe squad? Is the Kwekwe squad still around doing its dirty job? These are the questions we are asking. Who is allowing politicians to commit political thuggery in Kirinyaga against my supporters? What is happening? If the Government is unable to handle security, then it does not deserve to be in office. We are, therefore, telling you Minister--- I once again repeat that in the Supplementary Budget, you had Kshs5 billion for salaries and we approved Kshs5 billion for enhanced security. We want to see you take up these actions immediately. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, police reforms will go along way into solving these issues. We want accelerated police reforms. As a Parliament, we are not helpless. Let us wake up to our duty, rather than wrangle over committees; let us speed up implementation. I support."
