"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are taking all precautionary measures to safeguard Kenya. This information has come from the Government and it knows not only those who are under threat, but also others as reported to it by intelligence organs every minute. Every time information comes in, it is taken on board for protecting any known targets and everyone. In terms of relaxation of security at Parliament, I am not sure that there is a relaxation. I know there were very stringent measures such as opening every boot of vehicles. I think this is an operational issue in terms of to what extent you can trust a Member of Parliament. If a Member of Parliament is driving in, do you expect him to come in to destroy his own Parliament? I think it is an issue of trust plus control that works best for purposes of ensuring security without a lot of intrusion, which would show suspicion of the integrity of Members of Parliament, to the extent that they have to be subjected to unnecessary measures. So, I think a balance has been struck and hon. Members need not panic."
