    "content": "attacks. We stood up to honour the fallen soldiers who have lost their lives. I hope that even as Parliament, we can put in place a better framework to ensure faster compensation and recognition of the families that have been left by their loved ones. Further, let them live comfortable lives because their loved ones died making sure that we live and sleep peacefully. Madam Temporary Speaker, the other issue that the President addressed is unemployment. I am in agreement with him that the one threat to this nation is not even terrorist attacks; it is actually the millions of unemployed Kenyan youths. I hope that the Government can get a way of solving that as soon as possible before it gets out of hand. The issue of bandits was addressed by the President. I want to state here clearly that we must stand very firm against politicians who incite violence. When I look at kids who are lying on cold floors in Baringo County because they have been displaced and their mothers have been killed, I do not know what kind of society we are bringing up. We need to be very decisive even at the level of political parties. If you have been associated with violence and loss of life, you must not hold public office. We must say it from the roof top that investigations must be done thoroughly. We cannot keep killing children because of our narrow personal interests. I want to support and hope that the remaining bit of the Jubilee Government and in the months ahead of us, we can see fast tracking of the delivery of services in terms of infrastructural development and ensuring that the connectivity to primary schools of electricity now spills over to homes. We have doubled the number of persons who have been connected to electricity for the last 50 years. I hope that we can make that a priority also so that by the time we go to elections we will be able to look back and say that we have done a good job. I hope also, as the President said, that violence during this electioneering will be shunned. Those of us who are women going for political offices, we have also petitioned the Inspector General (IG)o f Police. I want to state on the floor of this House that we must be given proper security because of the intimidations and threats that we are receiving every day. Let the campaigns be peaceful and let everyone be given space to sell their idea and their ideologies and to ask for a position; whichever position without threats, violence or mudslinging. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you and I note."
