    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My point of order is in regard to the issue of petitions brought to this House. You have just communicated a Petition by a Kenyan. About three months ago – the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, Hon. Kamama, may be better apprised of the matter – on behalf of Petitioners from Kiambu County, I tabled a Petition before this House, and it was committed to the Committee. It was on issues to do with the establishment of militias in this country and the threat that such militias portend to members of the public. I am sad that all these months after that Petition was committed to the Committee, nothing tangible has happened. The only thing that happened is that the Committee invited the Petitioners and me to appear before it and we gave evidence. In other issues relating to that Petition, threats have been issued to me and to my life. About three weeks ago on 20th May 2016, three people trailed me from my Kikuyu Constituency Office to my residence in Kikuyu purporting to have an appointment that I had never arranged with them. They had hired a taxi from near Alliance High School. Subsequently, the Director of Criminal Investigation (DCI) in Kikuyu was able to track the car that they had used, which was a taxi cab. We have since established that the people never had any good intentions on me or my family. Last week on Wednesday, the same group dropped an anonymous note at my gate at my residence in Kikuyu. It does touch on the establishment of illegal militia and gangs in this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
