When we visited Mandera, I think I personally found that these people wish they were somewhere else where they can really have at least one good night and not Kenya or Somalia. I hope we are not going to talk about the Motion which has not yet come. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, terrorists are taking over this country. If you look at the whole of the northern part of Kenya; Mandera, Garissa, Wajir, Isiolo, Samburu, Laikipia, Baringo and part of West Pokot, you will see that that is the biggest area in this country which is ready for take over by anyone who can declare himself a leader. This is because the Government has failed and the priorities are wrong.When priorities are wrong, what do you expect? This is the price of corruption. The top officers that we are condemning for not doing their work are gentlemen and ladies of honour and we must support them. In some instances they are left there to die. They have no power at all. The power which they used to have has been withdrawn. The GSU used to have firepower, but during the attempted coup of 1982, the army forced the Government to remove those powers from them. That is why they wait for orders and equipment from the headquarters. For example, if you are a senior superintendent police officer in Wajir, you will hate to stay there unless you have a source for receiving bribes. Corruption is a deep rooted culture in Kenya and that is why all these things are happening. How can you go to another country to create peace there when your own country is burning? There is something wrong. Thank you."
