    "content": "Thank you very much for the two minutes. First of all, I want to thank the President for what he said and for giving us this Report. I have some advice for the President. First, for those in charge of insecurity, I will not tell them to resign. I advise the President to reshuffle his Cabinet to make sure he has taken care of security. Secondly, as we speak, there are three groups of criminals in this country that are mistreating Kenyans. One category is the Al Shabaab that is attacking Mandera, Mombasa and even Nairobi. The other criminals are cattle rustlers. The third category of criminals that the Government is supposed to deal with are the strippers - those who are stripping women. The women of Kenya are very worried now. They are not even ready to board buses. They are not ready to go to public places because they are afraid. When women fear, we have no nation. So, this Government must take care of women. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you are also a woman. You need to be protected. You deserve all the dignity. We all came from women. We need to protect women. I have just shown the Majority Whip one of the portraits that is being shown in USA. It is says: “Do not go to Kenya. In Kenya women are stripped naked in broad day light and there is no help from the Government”. It is here! This is bad for Kenya. We need to change that. Finally, I want to tell this Government that the philosophy of Kenyans is that once they elect a leader, they bring their entire burden to him. They do not want to know whether the leader can afford it or not. So, this Government must know that Kenyans have bestowed their power on them. I urge the Government and my President, Uhuru Kenyatta, that he should take this seriously. We should increase the number of Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) troops in Mandera, Mombasa and the northern part of Kenya. The police who are not capable, let them take care of women---"
