    "content": "I am affected in my constituency. I lost many people, a whole police station, police cars and everything. This is a security matter. If you send only seven police officers to a station, can they really protect that area? Those are the issues that we need to address. I agree that affirmative action has a timeframe. That timeframe is when you address critical issues and problems promptly. The call for affirmative action is good but we should go beyond it. Security is the responsibility of the Government and it must protect all Kenyans wherever they are serving. When they bombed my police station, there were only seven policemen manning it. When they heard that Al Shabaab were coming they ran away. I concur with them. They left instead of being slaughtered. They ran away to the bush. So, let us address its root cause which is to ensure we have adequate security personnel. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if we are very serious we can remove those guys from Boni Forest. I am told they are not more than 50 people and we can remove them very fast with the might of this country. This country has got an intelligence system in place that knows the routes of these militia groups. We have many trained teachers who have not been in some parts of this country. We need to recruit those teachers now. Do not give them conditions by saying that they should have served for five years before you recruit them. The Teachers Service Commission should recruit those trained teachers so that they can fill the gaps we have now and address the short-term issues we are talking about."
