    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have been waiting for this opportunity since 9.00 O’clock. I rise to contribute to the Presidential Address. I have been looking at three issues; the first one being the unity of this country. That is why the President said we are very united. Unfortunately, I do not agree with him. If you look at the administrative structure and the security system of this county, you will find different part of this country is treated differently. An incident happened in Mandera a few weeks ago where Cuban doctors, due to our weak security, were abducted by Al Shabaab. What happened was that the whole of Mandera County was paralysed by impounding all the vehicles that were moving, arresting anybody moving on the streets and declaring a curfew that had not been officially announced. The economy of the county came to a standstill until today. In the three weeks, five people have been picked from Mandera by the security agents and nobody knows where they are, whether in jail or they have been finished. In the past, people were picked and their corpses were collected from a river somewhere. We do not know to date if those five people who were carrying out their businesses were taken to. The Governments administrative system and the security system has discriminated some parts of the country. We cannot talk of unity."
