    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to also support this Statement by my sister from Isiolo County. It is not only in Isiolo County where we have security issues, but all over the country. Cattle rustling is rampant along our boundaries. In Kajiado County, for example, we have people stealing livestock and driving them to the neighbouring country. We have illegal businesses taking place along our boundaries. Security issues, especially along our boundaries, should be looked into seriously. It is true that the security apparatus response is very poor and needs to be looked into by the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. I listened to my colleagues talking about rape cases, defilement of young children and cattle rustling, among other issues of security and I felt it is a high time that this House, through the Committee on National Security, Defence, and Foreign Relations, summoned the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government to inform us what he is doing about insecurity in this country. We see him talking loudly and tough about sugar issues while the country is not safe. It is a high time that he puts his house in order. He needs to relook into the administration in our counties. Some county commissioners and other officers are engaging in illegal businesses. This is the reason why we have conflict of interest whereby when you report a case of livestock theft, it goes nowhere because many officers are involved."
