I also take this opportunity to condole with the family of the late hon. Muchai and the bodyguards and driver who were killed in very sad circumstances. I want to say that it talks to the issue of insecurity in this country. Personally, I was a victim. In the last Parliament, I was attacked by an armed gang of six men who had guns and I reported the matter to the police. The police said that I was just being overdramatic and we let it pass. Even in this Parliament, a month ago somebody called me and told me somebody had sent him to come and kill me. I actually have the message and the name of the person who called me. Based on my past experience, I said it is a waste of my time. I have not reported matter to the police. I have just told my friends and relatives that should I die, this is the person who was sent. I therefore want to say that the Government should take the issue of security very seriously. It is just not about Members of Parliament but about Kenyans as well. We are not really special but it is important that we do something. I want to support this Motion but not based on what hon. A. B. Duale is saying. It is erroneous that you would want to come if you have a list that is erroneous and threaten Members with going home for six months. I would want him to tell us that I am bringing The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
