"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to give my condolences to this young soul which we have lost under very crude circumstances. Kenya is bleeding this afternoon since we learnt of the death of Albert. As my colleagues have clearly put it, the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations of this House should lead by example. The Chairperson, Sen. Dullo, should suspend any other activity that they have for this week. I am speaking as the Chair of the Liaison Committee with the powers bestowed on me by the Committee and the Standing Orders. When we have matters such as this, at least, the Chair or Vice- Chairperson should be taking notes of what the Members are saying, so that whatever they do in the Committee, they will get input from the Senators. We are not just talking in vain. They should be here to take notes, so that when they meet the IG of Police and anybody else, they have facts and issues to raise with them. I do not want to communicate with you directly, Sen. Dullo, but thank you for coming back because what we are discussing is a matter of national importance that needs a lot of attention. Maybe this week, you should suspend any other activity you have as the Committee and deal with this matter “perpendicularly”. How I wish you will summon all these police commanders, the IG of the Police and all the others. Even the Cabinet Secretary can appear not before your Committee, but the Plenary, so that we can ask serious questions that the nine Committee Members may be unable to handle. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
