    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have two short points of clarification. First, I want to thank the Prime Minister for the advice to the public that they should stay away from the scene of crime. It is a well known fact that politicians draw crowds. At the scene of crime, the most important thing is investigations and evacuation. Could the Prime Minister tell us what business political dignitaries, including himself, have in visiting those scenes and in the process they draw crowds into them? By the way, it is a very serious issue because as we saw in the bomb blast of September, 2011 in the USA, terrorists can strike, wait for five minutes and then strike again and wait for 30 minutes and strike again. So, as our leaders draw crowds into those areas, do they realise that they are drawing members of the public into the possibility of a second round of attack? What will the Prime Minister do to those leaders? The second point is that the Prime Minister has discussed the issue of security as pertains to what happened along Moi Avenue. However, what disturbs me is the position of the Prime Minister, as one of our principals, on the Mombasa Republican Council. While with them he tells them that they are speaking liberation language which has always been his language. But when he is away in Nairobi he tells them that he cannot dialogue with foreigners. Is the Prime Minister and the Government waiting for this group which is merely fighting for social justice to turn violent before they take them seriously? We need to talk them out of thinking that what is happening to them is something special only to them. Instead, they need to know that the issue of social inequality obtains in most parts of the country. Finally, when will the Prime Minister stop double standards in dealing with the MRC?"
