    "content": "I thought of Safaricom on network coverage. We must agree that we need network coverage in those regions, so that it becomes easy to track and eliminate these terrorists. I do not call them Ethiopians. I call them terrorists, because what they did is inhuman and an animalistic behaviour. The issue of border control is sad. As EAC, we are encouraging movement of goods and people, but it looks like our neighbours are abusing this privilege. We must intensify the border control, so that we eliminate people who are terrorists or people who want to bring disharmony. We are not saying Ethiopians should not come to Kenya or Kenyans should not go to Ethiopia. We need a robust way of handling immigration, especially in Turkana County.We need to bring activities that bring unity, like trading points, sports and games, so that they can solidify. I want to empathize and sympathize with the great people of Turkana. It is unfortunate that, today, Kenya has been relatively stable. Undoubtedly, I want to ask KDF, the national Government, the President, and the people concerned to ensure they pursue these criminals. Ethiopia has been a friendly nation. Kindly let them hand over those criminals for proper prosecution under terror charges. In fact, they should be charged under the Prevention of Terrorism Act. In conclusion, I saw the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration saying it was a small challenge. It was not a small challenge. The Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, Hon. Murkomen should at least in future have empathy. He said in Tiaty this was a small challenge, and yet 22 people have died. As Government officials, we must be empathetic. We must show remorse. If you are calling 22 lives a small challenge, what does it mean to the ordinary Kenyans who lost one or two Kenyans? With those many remarks, I beg to second this Motion."
