    "content": "contribution is that, we, in the Jubilee Government, must not bury our heads in the sand when things are going wrong. The security of this country is under threat. We have had killings in Kapedo, Baringo, Mandera, at the Westgate and Mpeketoni. These are many Kenyan lives that have been lost. This needs to be addressed by our security enforcers. Those who are responsible and those who have been allocated resources in this country to address security in this country should do their job. As mentioned yesterday, this year the security docket received a very big allocation of Kshs70 billion. So, those who are talking of underfunding in the security docket are not being honest to the country. We have allocated money to the security docket and we want to see this money working for Kenyans. It is unfortunate that of late, we have seen women being stripped and babies being raped. Yesterday, I was disappointed to hear the Leader of Majority Party asking where the mother of the three year old baby who was raped was. I want to go on record to tell hon. A.B. Duale that the mother of this three year old baby could have been in Parliament like me. I have a three year old baby. The mother of this baby could have been in hospital, maybe in a theatre trying to save a life. She could as well be a police woman who is trying to offer security to Kenyans. Finally, the mother of this baby as was shown in the media had been chased out of home. It is very unfortunate for people to ask where the mother of this baby was. What we should ask is: What has happened to our society? We agree that we must all take due care. But, does it mean that women will not move out of their homes to fend for their families because of a crazy criminal who cannot be apprehended? Up to date, these criminals have not been apprehended. The law enforcers have not done their job. Is it that women cannot go around this country safely? Is it that babies will be raped and women will be stripped? We have a problem. Those who are responsible for offering security in this country cannot run away from their role. When the late hon. Michuki, and may God rest his soul in peace, was handling that docket, the country was brought to some sanity under his watch. The"
