    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a serious matter. One of the reasons I have risen to add my voice on this issue is that Chesumei, the village from where these children disappeared is next to my county. The following week after the children disappeared, similar cases have been reported in areas like Bureti and parts of my county. When I observe the casual nature in which this matter is being handled and the response that we are receiving - being told that we should give the Ministry two more weeks – we realize that there is a problem. We have a Cabinet Secretary who is in charge. What is his job if he cannot at the very primary level protect the lives of children who are totally defenseless? For a long time, we have been saying that we need strategic minds to head our security functions. We need to move away from being told that since so-and-so is a retired General and so on, he is fit to head a Ministry. We are living in the digital age. If you scan a particular area at a particular time, you are able to tell the individuals that are active. I am not a trained security mind, but I know the basic things like where I would start my assessment from. We have a Cabinet Secretary whose only interest is to drive around Harambee Avenue with his chase cars pushing us off the way. I agree with Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo that if the job is too heavy for him he should resign. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
