    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 33(1), I wish to seek leave to give notice for adjournment of the House for the purpose of discussing the deteriorating security situation in the country. THAT, recognising that national security entails protection against internal and external threats to Kenya’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, its people, their rights, freedoms, property, peace, stability and prosperity and other national interests in accordance with Article 238 (1) of the Constitution; aware that recent attacks in Kapedo on the border of Baringo and Turkana counties, Mombasa, Malindi and Mandera have resulted in killing and maiming of innocent Kenyans in cold blood, destruction of property and destruction of social order; deeply concerned that these incidences of insecurity being perpetrated by armed persons and terrorist groups are a serious threat to the national security, stability and prosperity; and cognisant of the fact that economic activities and public service delivery in areas prone to insecurity is on near paralysis due to continued threats on businesses and professionals stationed in the above mentioned areas, this House adjourns to discuss the state of security in the country and urges the Government to urgently take all necessary measures to restore and maintain national security. Thank you."
