Farah Yakub","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance and for the possibility of responding to what the Chair has said. I thought this was a House of Standing Orders and respect, but I do not see that. The Chair responded to my question as a statement. There is a difference between questions asked to the specific Cabinet Secretaries and statements sought. The response given by the Chair and Hon. Member from Fafi Constituency is said to be in response to the Statement I sought. I did not seek any statements. I asked a specific question to the Cabinet Secretary on security in Fafi Constituency. The manner in which the question was answered was less than two pages, flaccid and shallow. I asked for specific details on accounts and abductions. So, I request that the specific Cabinet Secretary concerned with security appear before the House. Last night, a Meru businessman was shot dead by the Al-Shabaab in my area at a place called Dar es Salaam. I am perturbed to hear that the Cabinet Secretary does not want to appear but answers our questions with very shallow statements. Under your guidance, I request that the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administrations, Hon. Kindiki, appear before the House so that we can raise concerns and issues on security not only in Fafi Constituency and Lamu but throughout Northern Kenya. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."},{"id":1392175,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1392175/?format=json","text_counter":87,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

Kangogo Bowen","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for directing the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs to inform the Cabinet Secretary to appear before us on the issue of insecurity. On the same issue, North Eastern, the Coast, and the Rift Valley form almost three-quarters of the landmass of this country. This is the part of the country that has been left to terrorists, bandits, cattle rustlers, and murderers. The answers we have been receiving from the Cabinet Secretary on insecurity are cosmetic, copy, and paste. For many years, whether you ask a question or make a statement, the response we get has been cosmetic in nature. This time, we have seen how the Government is fighting corruption and illicit brews in this country. We want the Government to have the same energy and strength to fight bandits, terrorists, and cattle rustlers. We cannot leave over three-quarters of this country to bandits and terrorists, because when you talk about the entire North Eastern region, there is no peace. Cattle rustlers are dominating the entire Rift Valley. The Al Shabaab has taken over the entire Coast Province. So, in which part of the country are we safe? Are we talking about Nairobi and a few other patches? We need to take the issue of insecurity very seriously."},{"id":1392179,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1392179/?format=json","text_counter":91,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.
