"content": "You recently saw what is happening in churches. The churches need to be secured every Sunday or Saturday for the Adventists. You saw what happened in our neighbouring country of Congo, where a church was attacked and 58 worshippers died. The terrorist was a Kenyan who had been indoctrinated. He has now been arrested in Congo. Many young Kenyans had gone for training and are around. In fact, one of them was coming to commit an act like that in a public gathering like the one we had yesterday, but he saw his mother singing. The mother had not seen him for years. He decided not to go on with the attack. Sometimes, these people even sneak past our security checks. We need special training on this, so that we secure the country and avoid such disasters in future. This is because when disasters happen in other places, there may be no funds. As Kenyans, we should begin thinking of a similar fund in case things happened. There are terrorist activities that have happened in Kenya where people have been injured and cars destroyed like in Westlands. I know one or two people who lost relatives and they have not been compensated. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is something we need to think about very carefully. I agree with our Commissioner that something more than what we have presented here needs to be done, so that we help Kenyans in this regard. I support."
