    "content": "I remember there was a time I was carjacked. That experience lingered on in my mind for more than three years. So, it is a very traumatizing situation. Therefore, it is important that we take the issue of security as very important in this country. I, therefore, call upon the Inspector-General of Police, the Police Commander and all the security forces to take the issue of defilement and general insecurity seriously. There are many cases of defilement on children and rape on women along the lake, mostly in the lake region. The Government should have a mechanism of having police patrols along the lake, so that this issue is brought to a halt, once and for all. Parents have the responsibility of taking care of their children. At the same time, we know that most parents are involved in fending for their families. Most women are the ones who are now fending for their families. So, if this woman is supposed to be taking care of the children, teenagers and, at the same time, fending for the family, it becomes very hard on the family. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the national Government to make sure that the security of State and the country is safeguarded at every level. I would like to present this Statement and plead with the national Government to devolve the security function. If security cannot be purely handled by the national Government, I think some aspects of security should go to the county governments so that Kenyans can feel secure in their own country, once and for all. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
