    "content": "Muchai in Naivasha and for the few minutes that we had a chat together, he made an impression to me to be a straight and determined person. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I condole with the family of Muchai, several questions pass through my mind as to how this country handles security issues. I am particularly concerned with how we handle arms in this country; particularly small arms. This has often been talked about as some of the threats to security in this country. Whenever this is raised, it is said that this country is unable to control the flow of small arms. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is no higher price than spending any amount of money in order to ensure the safety of each of our citizens in this country. I want to use the loss of the life of Hon. Muchai as a reason to have a very determined action to try and wipe out small arms in this country. The small arms do not only include pistols but also other guns that can be used to terrorize people such as AK 47 which is a very lethal arm carried around by thugs with bad intentions like wishing to kill Members of Parliament and security personnel. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my sympathies also go to those security officers, especially Mr. Motanta who had two wives and seven young children who entirely depended on him for their survival and their future lives. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it very regrettable that this is happening 50 years after Independence when our security should be one of the best things that we should have attained as part of development in this country. I, therefore, condole the loss of Hon. Muchai’s life and I wish that the state will come around and assist the children of those who are not able to assist themselves particularly the security personnel that were involved with Hon. Muchai. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with that, I condole."
