    "content": "Hon. Members, indeed it is common knowledge that the events that took place in Garissa defy any description, and Parliament has a fundamental and sanctified role to protect the people of this country and to hold the Government responsible for its actions and inactions too. The fact that there is a serious unconstitutionality that was committed by the Government by committing the KDF to carry out what essentially was an internal operation without parliamentary approval, and the kind of damage that was inflicted on the people--- Indeed, I think this is a matter that probably should not only be dealt with by this Parliament within the borders of this country, but I am inclined to believe it might also have some effect outside this country. I agree with you and the Chair has absolutely no reservations and concurs that the two committees – the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security and the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations – jointly should co- opt any other hon. Member from any of the other committees whose skills and specialty is a requirement in this case--- What comes to mind immediately is the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, the Departmental Committee on Equal Opportunity. They should be able to sort out the gender dimension in this thing because over 70 per cent of the people who use that market are women; they do business there. So, the Chair directs that they move with speed and split themselves into the right numbers so that they can be in Garissa and also carry out investigations in Eastleigh, Baragoi and Turkana. They are to work as much as is possible and we have their report in a week."
