    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. On my own behalf and that of my constituents of Mathioya, I wish to take this opportunity to extend my condolences to the family of the late George Muchai and the families of his driver and two security people. It is sad because I knew hon. Muchai as a great man; in real sense, I used to call him my brother-in-law. The late hon. Muchai has married from my place, at a place called Gituge. The love I used to see him exhibiting for that place was immense. He used to visit his mother-in-law. It was something tremendous. Hon. Speaker, it is sad that deaths occur to Members of Parliament and members of the public even after they have reported that their lives are threatened. The case of hon. Muchai goes back to 2011. Sometime back in October 2011 hon. Muchai was involved in some shooting and he reported the matter to the police. Two months ago, hon. Muchai reported again that his life was in danger and nobody in this country took action to protect him. Hon. Speaker, we are asking the Government, especially the police, to take these issues very seriously. We have heard on the Floor of the House the women representative for Isiolo County, hon. Tiyah Galgalo, reporting that she has been threatened; I do not think any security officers have taken that issue seriously. Let us be a nation that takes such issues seriously."
