    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity so that I may also make my contributions to this Motion. Let me join my colleagues in expressing my condolences to the bereaved families in Mandera I and Mandera II. As you are aware, in Mandera II, the county of Kisii where I am a delegation to this Senate, lost ten citizens. This country is burning from Mandera, Wajir, Garissa, Lamu, Nairobi and Mombasa. This country is burning from the north to the south and from the west to the east. Our mothers are wailing because they have lost their children. Our women are being stripped naked in public. Our wives have become widows and our children have become orphans. This country is burning and I am wondering why. This country is burning because of poor leadership, poor institutional framework in terms of managing and coordinating security. This leads me to think - I read somewhere that the Emperor of Rome, Nero, was playing the fiddle while Rome was burning. I hope that Kenya will not end up in such a situation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I welcome the changes that have been made on the change of guard in the Ministry of Interior and National Coordination. However, I want to agree with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale that it is too little too late. I am saying this because the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
