    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Further to what my colleagues, distinguished Senators have raised, I want to concur that the report is inadequate, bureaucratic and does not address the issues we are concerned about in Pokot and Turkana. In fact, this is a cut and paste report. Further, this report does not even address the plight of many women and vulnerable children in that region. Today, I read that almost 90 per cent of the people hurt in the incident that just occurred were women and children. We know that regarding the incident raised by the distinguished Senator for Samburu, in that incident, women and children were the majority of the victims. If this Government does not address the plight of children and women, especially in security issues, very soon, the women of Kenya will say no. We want answers. We cannot sit as women legislators and see our mothers, daughters and our own children being maimed and killed. We know that in any country, a good government protects women because we are the ones who give birth. Otherwise, this country will have no population or citizens. I support what my colleagues have been saying."
