The issue of security is of paramount importance and I just wanted to say that as the Chairman of the National Security Council (NSC), and in addition to what has been happening in the country lately, the President should know that we are looking at him for guidance, direction and action in order to tame the runaway insecurity in this country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the ball is completely in the hands of the national security team to be able to control and bring back the peace that we enjoyed for very many years. Terrorism and radicalisation are a threat and I want to say that as a nation we need to have a very deep discussion. I am glad that the Leader of Majority Party mentioned that national discussion is needed in order to understand the real problems that are facing us as a nation so that we can be able to bring solutions. Is the problem that we have as a result of our Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) being in Somalia or is it because we harbour such a huge number of refugees in our country for over 25 years? Those are the questions we need to ask ourselves. These are questions that I believe do contribute to the situation that we are in currently. The sooner we address them, the better for us as a country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, much as we look upon the security forces to do their bit, as a community in Kenya we need to engage and address issues that can be solved by the communities. Insecurity and radicalisation of youth comes from within the country. For that reason, communities living within the country should be engaged accordingly, especially in the coastal region of Kenya and the northern part where I come from."}
