    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to wish you a happy New Year because I saw you last year. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to support my brother, Hon. Kisang on this. As women in this country, we have been seeing what is happening in Marakwet and it is not something very good to look at. This is especially when you see young children who cannot go to school and the youth running all over trying to see how they can save their parents and yet they do not have the means. It is very painful to look at those scenarios especially for women in this country. We all know that security is always key for any country to build its economy. It is sad in Kenya today to see what is happening in an area like Marakwet. It is an uncomfortable life when people keep on fighting. We do not have cattle rustling in Kakamega although we know that people have always stolen cows left, right and centre. However, this cannot be to the extent of what we hear in Marakwet. Why does it always happen when we are approaching elections? We need to find the root cause of this problem because it cannot be re-occurring now and then and yet we have a system that should give us security. We have county commissioners and sub-county commissioners who should know what is happening. We also have a system of intelligence in the country.
