    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to add my voice on the same. While we were in Kisumu with the Committee on Devolved Government, we expected the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Coordination to be present so that he could have responded on a number of issues that were raised by the participants; both from the county and national governments. One major concern was that the national Government should come up with a working MOU to enable the county Governments to sit in the security committees so that we tackle these issues. Up to today, we have not got any response. Another concern is that we lost young people in Garissa. Those were students, young people and the leaders we need in this country. However, up to today, nothing substantial has been given to the parents so that other people in primary and secondary schools can see that it is okay to attend school in any county and be comfortable. I will expect the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Affairs to participate in giving a response concerning what happened. We are all aware that the information about the attack was reported to the police stations, but no action was taken. Lastly, there is a saying; usalama unaanza na mimi . As Kenyans, we are tired of what the Government of today is doing. We pay taxes. It is the responsibility of the Government to take care of our security as it is stipulated in the Constitution of Kenya."
