    "content": "when we obviously see that each and every day this Government is failing in how they handle insecurity in this country. Kenyans are dying and yet they are still championing corruption. Madam Temporary Speaker, forcing the EACC commissioners to go on retirement or to leave means that this Government is not serious with these issues of corruption that have been brought before them. The Government does not intend to do anything to fight corruption. It has also shocked me to learn that the 10,000 recruits who we knew had been recruited through corruption---If I may tell you, in Kisii county, an old man died after he realized that the son for whom he had bribed Kshs200,000 to be recruited was not taken. These are the same recruits that we are now being told will be taken to Kiganjo to be trained as police officers. It saddens me that this Government does not want to respect our institutions and the rule of law. If there is clearly a court order, why should we defy it and then go ahead to say that we are recruiting the same officers? Do we not care about institutions and the rule of law? Do we not have respect for the rule of having a stand on the institutions of the Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary? There has to be respect and a balance of power in this country if we want to take a bipartisan approach in how we manage this country. Finally, I want to suggest the following; I support the setting up of an institution that will deal with this issue as a special unit. If there are people with ears to hear, we need a national security conference. We need to have dialogue in this country for these people, who are refusing to listen, because we need them to start listening now. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
