Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 13th February, 2011, while we were deliberating as Members of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, I was given information that the Government intended to withdraw my personal security that is provided by the Government. I raised it with my Committee and decided to leave it at that. But later in the day, hon. Olago, who is also a Member of that Committee also got information through a SMS that the Government intends to withdraw his security.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I took it that it could only relate to the view and stand I had taken in relation to the nominations by the President, because I am not aware of any other reason why my security would have been withdrawn. I was asked by the media because I held a Press Conference why I have not reported to the police. I said because the police were the ones, who want to withdraw my security, I do not see the need.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 19th February, 2011, I was travelling to Suba where my father was born to undertake development activities related to girls. I was accompanied by an Assistant Commissioner for the National Cohesion and Integration Commission, Ms. Mary and members of the CRADLE children foundation and private security because I did not trust Government security. On my way, I got further information that there were two Israelis of Artur Magaryan type that had come to this country and had met in a residence that I would not indicate now.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, when I got this information, I did not take it lightly. I reported the matter to Mbita Police Station. When I reported the matter to Mbita Police Station, I got very good co-operation from the OCPD, Mrs. Cherono Githinji. She actually gave me personal protection. She gave me a Land Rover full of police officers who were with me throughout my stay in Mbita. At about 11.00 p.m., as soon as the police left me, I was attacked by six men who were carrying AK47 rifles, pistols and swords. Those people were not locals for various reasons. ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the surprising things is that when those guys were attacking us, they were very courteous, especially the leader. The leader was very apologetic. He told us that he was very sorry that he had to do that; it was not his wish; he is born of women just like me, and the woman I was with. He told us to relax. They were only doing their duty. They also gave us a message to Mr. Ojode. They told us to tell him not to ask that they be shot because they were not going to ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it did not escape my notice that they were treating me very specially. The leader insisted that I do not identify myself; they did not take my phones. They did not steal from me except my money. They were courteous and they returned my bag. In this country, when other hon. Members have raised issues of their security, or when issues have been raised and they have not been said loudly, people have died. Mr. J.M. Kariuki died! Dr. Ouko died! Mr. Mboya died! For Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona, I am
