    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to address these two petitions. First, I support the Petition on insecurity from my sister, the Woman Representative from Lamu. The Government is spending a lot of money on security matters but the results are minimal. It is high time these things were looked into critically. Those people who are sent to man crime prone areas must be vigilant so that we can see the results of the beefing up of security. If we keep on losing people and property and still the Government is deploying personnel in those areas, then that is quite an unfortunate situation. On the part of this demolition of Houses, I think it is high time the Government thought otherwise and looked at the mistakes which were done by officers in the past and try to bring up laws which can conserve or maintain the remaining riparian lands. We cannot go back and say we can claim all the riparian land in this country. It will mean we demolish all the houses in this country. We have houses in Maua which are sitting on mash land. If we decide to remove those houses, there will be no town called Maua. So, this is the Petition to address this issue of demolishing houses. Let us not use it as some form of punishment for some people. There are many people who would get impoverished because of the mistakes of others. At the end of the day, once this matter has settled, the land will revert to other people in another dubious way. I support the two Petitions."
