    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion of Adjournment. Insecurity in this country is a concern to every Kenyan. Kenyans are, therefore, looking up to leaders to give solutions to insecurity. We are tired of waiting until something happens and then we are told that investigations have been launched. At the end of the day, after the victims have been buried, that is the end of the story. Prevention is better than cure. We need to protect Kenyans. I want to remind the Jubilee Government that as per the Constitution, they have a duty to protect the citizens of this country. They have a duty and a responsibility to use all means to ensure that the lives of Kenyans are secured. If people who are protected are under threat, what about common mwananchi? There are a series of cases that go unreported simply because there is laxity and we cannot allow this, we must stand firm and say no to insecurity in this country. Without security, we cannot develop, we cannot get investors and people cannot plan well in this country. The issue of insecurity is something that we cannot sit back and blame one another but we have a duty and a responsibility. I want to mention something about the way we shift blame and this has made even the security personnel not to know which way to go or which is the best way for them to perform their duties because if they kill, they are blamed and if they sit back, they are blamed too. We must look at both sides because even the security people and the police officers are Kenyans. If they are attacked and die, it is again a loss to this country.
