    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to associate myself with the pain the County Government of Mandera is going through, especially the Governor and the Senator. Maj. (Rtd) Nkaissery and Mr. Boinett have been given jobs; so what? The issue is corruption in the armed forces; the military, the police and NIS. That is the reason lives are being lost in Mandera and other parts of the country. Corruption is leading to the destruction of a community called the Somali in this country. If people do not know, corruption is going to make sure that Somalis will be begging to call themselves Kenyans. Every Kenyan will be saying; hawa watu ndio wanatuuwa . Corruption is destroying the institution in Mandera called the government. So, far, there have been five attempts on Governor Roba’s life. How many more attempts does the Jubilee Government want to see on Roba before they realize that the guy is under threat? This is because the Governor is bringing organization in Mandera and, therefore, interfering with corruption networks. There are sugar barons in Mandera and Wajir. Trucks carrying sugar from Kismayu are arrested in the morning, paraded before a magistrate, the case is heard very quickly and the declaration is that the sugar be destroyed. After a few days, there is no burning of the sugar, it is allowed into the market and people are in business. This is corruption which is at play. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it should not be lost on Senators that in Mandera we have NIS officers; what do they report? We have the Anti-Terrorist Police Unit in Mandera, what do they do? They simply look the other side as terrorists come in. Purely by happenstance, hon. Duale happens to come from the same community, if only a senior The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
