    "content": "I stand guided, hon. Deputy Speaker. The second issue is about insecurity in the country. We have serious insecurity in the country. I heard hon. Katoo ole Metito enumerating all the milestones that the Jubilee Government has achieved. All those milestones are in the Jubilee Manifesto. The only issue that I have is the runaway insecurity in the country. There is no need of having free maternity services when women cannot even go to hospitals because of insecurity. There is no need of having free primary education when in some areas like Baringo and Turkana, there are no schools. There is need for the President to lead from the front together with the new Cabinet Secretary, Maj-Gen. (Rtd.) Joseph Nkaissery, whom we approved in this House, to make sure that the country is safe from Lamu, Turkana, Mandera and everywhere. As I speak, there are families who are mourning and children who are orphaned because of insecurity. As Members of Parliament, we are not going to sit and watch and yet, we appropriate the huge amounts of money that is allocated to the security docket. The money should be used to improve the security of Kenyans. The third issue is about corruption. Integrity is the supreme quality of any leader. Of all the leaders who have been mentioned here, only a few have stepped aside. All of them should step aside like yesterday. Only Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries have stepped aside. We also have officials from the ministries, county governments and other levels of the Government. When it is alleged that a governor owns 40 tippers and 40 graders, he becomes the major contractor in his county. What are we saying? That is very serious corruption.
