    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Wetangula came up with a Statement here relating to a very serious matter. When security is withdrawn, we have to take it seriously and address it as such. My leader, Sen. Elachi, has also mentioned a case where the deputy governor is purported to have suffered the same fate. Whether it is true or not, Sen. Wetangula and Sen. Elachi, you better stop what you are doing here. This is a serious matter. If you have that issue, raise it appropriately. I think the Speaker will assist in that because we should not lose track of what we are asking. We want to address what has come up. Indeed, any governor of any political side in this Republic qualifies for protection and indicated here and we need to address this matter. The only place to address it is here. As the Senator of West Pokot, anything touching on my governor, whether we are in agreement politically or not, by law, I am supposed to represent him and that county government. So, I support that we need to address this and raise our concerns that as the Senate, we do not want to believe. The Speaker has put it correctly that whatever we have seen, whether it is true or not, then we need to condemn that behaviour. The Governor did not pick those people from the bush. He was given by the Inspector-General (IG) and that office as such. So, we demand that he and any other person who has suffered the same fate should also be given back his or her security. We do not want to relate it to the just ended politics of Malindi. If it has anything to do with that, then we condemn it. If not, we need to investigate and say that he should be given back his security."
