Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank Ms. Karua for giving me these three minutes to also make my opinion known on this matter. I come from a rural constituency which some time, like ten years ago, we had known a lot of violence that was perpetrated by some people.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, during those days, there used to be a lot of violence that was perpetrated against communities in the area; we knew of a lot of insecurity in that part of the country, in Tana River.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the letter that was signed by Assistant Ministers was merely emphasizing the role that we ought to accomplish, which many Ministers and their Assistants are already doing. It may be on specific cases. So, it is not correct to give the impression to the nation that the Assistant Ministers are not doing anything.
