    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, when I read the answer to this Statement, I could not believe that this was Prof. Kaimenyi’s signature. This is because the answers given to the issues raised here were obviously given by a person who does not even understand issues. The person says that the county government has provided three armed Kenya Police Reservists (KPR) instead of officers from the national police service. The person goes ahead to say that the county government will set up a police post. I think this answer is unsatisfactory. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my point is, if you are fighting terrorism, you must not show that you are defeated. The action of closing institutions because terrorists have attacked is a clear indication that the Government has given up. The Government should ensure that those institutions remain open and learning activities continue; then terrorists will know that these are resilient people who cannot be defeated. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appeal to the Government to do everything possible and open those institutions. Everywhere in the country now, students – because of the Government’s action of running away – are also afraid. In Kitui, last week, dogs were barking outside the teacher training college and students jumped through the windows and broke their legs. In the same county, people were told that funny people were seen around Zombe Secondary School in Kitui County. The school is now closed."
