    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, one wonders, of all the homes in the area, how did they identify Emily’s home? Very few items were stolen. Her car was taken but was recovered the same night, meaning that the work of breaking grills et cetera could not have been just to rob a few personal items. This makes me fear not just for my safety, but for the safety of members of my family, my supporters and friends. I want to state that any harm that befalls any one of them, the first suspects should be those responsible for issuing the said threats. Even today, I firmly believe that the attack on Emily was political thuggery and the police are investigating it. Although her home is three kilometres from Kianyaga Police Station, the police took more than an hour after the incident was reported, probably one of the reasons being that they did not have a functional vehicle and had to borrow a vehicle from the District Commissioner (DC). I was here last week asking about the security situation in Kirinyaga County as a whole, and Gichugu in particular, and also requesting for a vehicle. It appears that there is a deliberate scheme to deny Kirinyaga East, that is, Gichugu Constituency, Government services including vehicles. An Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) has never been posted to Kirinyaga East, although the other districts have had their share. It appears that we are being kept in a weak situation to fight insecurity, probably to facilitate this sort of political thuggery."
