    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity. This is a very complex issue. They say that however big a pancake is, it has two sides. I have listened to the Members of this House. To tell you the truth, the failure of the Jubilee Government has come to the fore. Pastoral communities have been treated as lost territories. That is why when the Government should be protecting the people, it is simply making it worse. Why do I say this? The Government takes away security from Members of Parliament. Where do they take this security? They engage in pettiness while Kenyans are dying. I would like to tell Kenyans one thing. The people of northern Kenya and the Rift Valley are suffering. The solution is not to transfer teachers. Nobody should be killed. We all have families. Our family members and children are protected. Who would want their child to be killed? When we see teachers crying on television, we realise we are losing it as a country. These people are criminals; They are not Muslims. If they were Muslims, we would not be hearing of deaths in Somalia and many Arab countries. These are criminals. I wish to ask my colleagues: for how long will pastoralists hide criminals in their midst as they suffer? It is the pastoralists who are saying teachers should not be withdrawn from their areas. Why should we be quiet when we are suffering?"
