    "content": "One of the hon. Members who earlier on contributed said, we need to give them mandate. It is not that they do not have mandate. We have the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) Act; we have the National Intelligence Service (NIS) Act and the Police Service Act. These Acts are there but there are deficiencies in the Constitution. These deficiencies, whether it is through misinterpretation of the law, a lacuna in the law or misunderstanding, must be addressed. In the last week alone, we have lost 80 Kenyans. Two people were killed in Wajir as a result of a bomb blast; 23 people were killed in Kapedo; 28 people were massacred in Mandera; 16 people were killed in Isiolo and 10 people were killed in Marsabit. Those are 80 Kenyans within a span of eight days. Now you can categorize this war into two groups. These are the ones that at least we can talk of. There are many others that have been killed. We have war with terrorists. We also have an internal war because the war at Kapedo, Isiolo and Marsabit is not a terrorist attack. You can call it cattle rustling or you can call it anything, but we need to call a spade a spade. For how long are we going to entertain this? Who is this investor who will come to Kenya, a country where every day when you open any of the newspapers, the first thing that you read is a scary story? Let us be very pragmatic. The number one investment we ought to make as a country is security investment and everything else comes later."
