I, the undersigned, on behalf of the concerned residents of Bumula Constituency, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, Article 26 of the Constitution guarantees every Kenyan the inalienable right to life by providing that a person shall not be deprived of life intentionally, while Article 29 of the Constitution safeguards every person’s right to freedom and security, which includes the right not to be subjected to any form of violence from either public or private sources. THAT, Article 238 of the Constitution envisages national security as the protection against internal and external threats to Kenyan territorial integrity and sovereignty of its people, their rights, freedom, property, peace, stability and prosperity. THAT, Article 239(2) of the Constitution places the primary responsibility and obligation of promoting and guaranteeing national security on the national security organs, which are the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and the National Police Service (NPS). THAT, the residents of Bumula have been experiencing incessant cases of insecurity involving armed gangs that have been attacking homes, businesses and individuals, causing loss of lives and property, injury to victims and continued disruptions of livelihoods.
