    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Report. From the outset, the security situation of this country has been deteriorating for the last few months. First, I want to send my sincere condolences to the many Kenyans who have lost their lives in various security incidences, including the ones at Mandera and Kapedo. Basically, the security challenges facing this country can be classified into three categories. One is the Al Shabaab or terror related security challenge, cattle rustling and normal ordinary crimes that happen ordinarily. The biggest threat to this country is AlShabaab related terror attacks which have happened in our capital City of Nairobi, Mpeketoni in Lamu, Mandera and Garissa County, including the constituency that I represent. Security personnel have been killed and others kidnapped. I want to say that, if we were to address this issue, we should not shy away from telling His Excellency the President to take action. The President should address the people in charge of security. Security challenges can be attributed to the managers of security and the implementers. For example, if a football team does not perform, you should change the coach. If security situation has been going bad, it is time for His Excellency the President to change managers in charge of security. Those include the Cabinet Secretary and the police chiefs. In Mandera for instance, we have been hearing statements from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), Civil Service and other people saying that those Kenyans who do not come from Mandera should leave and go back to their districts. That is the whole intention of Al-Shabaab ."
