institutions and mostly the learning institutions where schools are facing imminent closure. This is of great concern in that, it has been worsened by the declaration by the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) to withdraw and redeploy teachers who are non-locals from northern Kenya and affected areas. It is for this reason that I seek leave of the House in order to deliberate on this matter and explore a lasting solution to insecurity in Wajir County of northern Kenya and other parts of the country.

I condemn this incident which has negated education and our entire livelihood in the region. I condemn it in the strongest possible terms. They did not deserve to die.

to suggest that there should be proper synergy among security apparatuses in the country, so that Kenyans can feel secure and be proud of our country. We have reasonably gained a lot of confidence in the Government in the past few years. There are certain gains we have made as a country, for example, devolution. We have gained a lot of development through devolution. We feel that we are part of Kenya as a result of devolution which was introduced by the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. Kenyans feel that devolution has done well in that region. What has been achieved ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will suggest a number of recommendations regarding the issue of insecurity. First, the KPR, the Kenya Police and the NIS should have a common strategy in terms of intelligence. Two, the KPR should equally be positioned in the regions so that they can provide security. The other issue is the recruitment of police officers. Gen. Mulinge, Gen. Mahmoud and Gen. Lengees were generals who rose through the ladder. They were uneducated, but they provided security services over the years. In terms of the recruitment policy, I recommend that young strong men who have no attachment ...
