    "content": "– is and from our understanding, one of the entry points is Mandera County. The Senate Minority Leader pointed out an issue which I also want to point out about the role of our Kenya Defence Forces (KDF). Why are they not taking care of our borders? It is better if we fight these enemies at the border rather than wait for them to come to Nairobi to finish our people in malls and big buildings. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when we enacted the new Constitution, the people of this country were so happy and one of the reasons why they were happy is because of devolution. Until today, the people of Mandera County do not understand why devolution exists. They have not seen any fruits of devolution because of constant insecurity in the county. Investors are not free again to invest in Mandera County. Teachers from other parts of the country who used to work in Mandera County today cannot go there because of insecurity. The children of Mandera County will sit the same Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams at the end of this year with children from the rest of the country. Under those circumstances in which they are operating, as we talk today, there are no teachers and children in school, do we expect them to sit for the same KCPE exams with other children from other parts of the country? How are we going to develop the rest of the country and leave a part of this country? 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."
