    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Statement and pray for my colleague, Sen. Anuar Loitiptip. I hope that he recovers. This raises a very serious concern, and this House ought to think about the security of its Members. I am aware that some of our Members have had their security detail withdrawn. Are we serious when we withdraw the security of Members who are out there working for Kenyans? I join my colleague, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr, in urging the Speaker of this House to speak on the security of Members. It is about time that the security docket seriously considers arming Members of this House who are not armed, so that they can defend themselves. I pray for my dear brother and hope to visit him today at the hospital. If these goons can attack a Member of Parliament, what will happen to ordinary Kenyans out there? As Members, we have to ask ourselves serious questions. Where are we going and at what time should we go there? Should we be at some places at the wee hours of the night? It behoves us to take personal responsibility. We must protect ourselves even as the security force in this country protects us."
