    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. We are discussing an important issue this afternoon and it is not the first time for us to discuss this issue. We have discussed about insecurity in several instances in this House. This is confirming that our strategy on security in this country has failed. If we can suspend issues and agenda for today to discuss insecurity, how long shall we be adjourning the House to discuss matters of insecurity in this House? Is it true that even if we talked like this nobody would take action, neither the security department nor its agencies? We come from communities that are suffering today, those who are being tortured and inflicted. To be specific, I want to protest on one-sided operation. Pokots and Turkanas live in this country. Both communities have guns. Why would the Government disarm Pokots and leave Turkanas and where will the Pokots go? If our brothers descend on us, where will we go? That is why some hon. Members from those communities are very happy and they are shouting on top of their voices encouraging KDF to continue torturing other people. The people being tortured in Kapedo are Kenyans, they are not animals. We do not encourage anybody to kill anyone, be it security officers or civilians. What happened in Baragoi? Forty security officers were killed in Baragoi by communities of some leaders who are shouting on top of their voices that KDF should continue killing our people in Kapedo. There are 40 guns that are being used to massacre and kill Pokots. Why are the 40 guns being used to kill innocent Kenyans? It is on record that there was no operation during that time by the same Government."
