    "content": " Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. I feel the Petitions presented today are very crucial and important. I want to support the Petition by the Member for Laikipia North. I want to condemn the criminals who have put security matters into their hands and killed innocent Kenyans, looted their properties and harassed this country. Security has been a very big problem to this country; it is like a cancer. If the people responsible for national security put their heads together and do proper planning, mapping and developing a strategy of dealing with the security problem in this country, life will be easier. The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) needs to be very serious. They should map this country and find a solution for the security issues in this country. We are in a county that has governance structures. We cannot allow individuals to take law into their hands and destroy people’s property, loot, harass people and rape women. We will not allow that in this country. I come from a constituency that has a security problem. Bodhai, Hulugho and Sangailu are areas where you cannot get an access road when there is problem. In supporting the Petitioner, I am asking that we make access roads in all the security-prone areas to make it easier for the few police officers that we have to move quickly when necessary. We need to establish police stations in places that have had problems for many years. There are places which have had security problems for over 30 years. Day in, day out, we hear of problems. But our Government has not started any initiative to establish police stations in those areas. We are, again, asking the NPSC to map out the country to identify the areas with security problems, so that they can put up police stations at strategic places. In the southern-end of my constituency, I have Baratiro. It is an island where people move in and out. I do not have any police station there. Garba and Jalish are border areas. I border Somalia, which is a country that has not had systems for many years. I thank the people of Ijara. They have been policing themselves. They have been identifying people who are not from there. They have been calling the security personnel so that they protect The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
