    "content": "by the Government for security purposes, we should support them. This is because there are intelligence reports that inform decisions. However, when some measures are put in place, some people always complain. Whether it is the curfew in Lamu, closure of mosques and deployment of the KDF, it is because of the information on security. I wish we could all support instead of opposing those measures every time and influencing other people to do things that they would not have done. We should encourage our professionals not to leave Mandera, because it is also part of Kenya. The children who are there are Kenyan children. We will be playing into the hands of Al Shabaab if we did that. Of course, there is need for the security forces to provide adequate security to professionals working there. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not think criticizing the President is helping much because he speaks from the information he gets from security. I do not know how we are going to prove otherwise that the Deputy President said people were killed unless we have our own security system to prove that he is lying. That language of saying the leadership is lying is really bad. We are surprised when the youth cause mayhem by undressing women. If leaders abuse other leaders the way it is happening, what will keep our nation sane? I would like to say that the President has done what he has done timely because he has more information than we have. You cannot run a government like playing cards or like you run your private home. There must be systems. I commend hon. Maj-Gen. Nkaisserry for being nominated and we have high hopes that things will improve. Let us put a wall or fence our boundary with Somali. I believe that if we decide to put all our money there, we can put up a deterrence fence and surveillance equipment to see who is crossing."
