    "content": "responsibility to protect its citizens and their property. When we see something like this, we realise that we are losing our country mile by mile. Somebody said that we are heading to a failed State status. When we cannot control security in Narok, Baringo, Laikipia and all over, where are we heading? When a Government takes its troops to Somalia, they are killed as flies, many people are dying of hunger, insecurity and even lack of medical attention because of the strike by doctors, then you wonder what our priorities are as a country. At the end of the day, when somebody puts it to you that you go around asking for votes, what for? We gave you votes the other time, but you are unable to run the country. If we are not careful, we are losing our country. Anybody coming tomorrow to tell us they are able to run the country and they have not been able to do so for the last three years, we will not give you our votes. We have small communities called the Ilchamus and the Njemps in Baringo who have been displaced. Their livelihoods have been destroyed. We wonder why a Government cannot protect such minorities. The other day, police officers were killed in Suguta, Marmar. Some were killed in Baringo and somebody told the President that he thought they were Turkanas and so, they killed them, and somebody just laughs at such kind of massacre of our people. I believe we should bring back our troops from Somalia. Let them be inside our borders. Let them build some peace. Let them stop the restlessness. Let us stop the loss of lives of our people. Let us become a country. It is a shame that 54 years after Independence, we are going farther and farther down each day. For how long will we entertain this? I am one of the Members who will tell the Government: Do your job! If not, quit and let the right Government take over."
