    "content": "I want to request for adjournment on a definite matter of urgent national importance. Pursuant to Standing Order 33(1), I seek leave to move the adjournment of the House for the purpose of discussing the ongoing insecurity in the country. Hon. Deputy Speaker, in the recent past there have been serious security lapses in various parts of the country especially in Mombasa, Malindi and Kapedo at the Turkana- Baringo border. It is concerning that the agencies charged with securing the wellbeing of the citizens and their properties are themselves unable to conduct the operations successfully. They are unable to contain the problem or arrest and charge any guilty persons in these incidents. In Kapedo for example, over 18 police officers lost their lives in addition to a number of civilians. Further, it is alleged that official weapons and uniforms were lost and that some police officers have relinquished their weapons to their superiors to avoid deployment to such violence-prone areas. The Government needs to act fast to contain insecurity and take all the precautions necessary to ensure that peace in the country is attained without further loss of lives and property. Thank you."
