    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I want to congratulate my friend, Hon. Cheptumo, for bringing up this important issue. I would like to bring to the attention of the House the fact that this problem is not just endemic in the North Rift. I stand here representing the great and resilient people of Mwingi North who have suffered irreparable damage socially and economically in the hands of bandits who are armed to the teeth. Last week, I buried Muthui wa Mbuvi, who was a resident of a small village called Ikime. Muthui did not commit any crime. He was found dead at his home. He had been shot and his body dismembered and put in a fire that he was using to cook his food. Obviously, there is something that is happening throughout the country. This House should make a decision that does not just take deal with the insecurity in the North Rift, but also deals with such incidences in other communities that continue to suffer in the hands of armed and very barbaric people. I also want to bring to the attention of the House the fact that my neighbour and I complained to the Government about the problem in our neighbouring constituencies in Mwingi. I got 30 officers from the Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU) after two people were murdered in cold blood. When they came, they said that they did not have a place to sleep. Having been de- whipped, I had to cough out money to buy mattresses and food for the 30 people for two days The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
