    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important for us to know that we should not normalize evil but resist it in the strongest terms. That is what we are doing this afternoon in the Senate. I know that there are hard questions which we will ask later. We will ask the issues which have been talked about by my colleagues, including issues of intelligence and corruption at the highest and the lowest level. That Kshs10 or Kshs20 that we received as bribes could have cost us the lives of those people who died at the Westgate Mall. Do we know our neighbours where we live? We shall be asking those questions later, but for now, we are standing in solidarity with all the families and all the people who have been affected by this tragedy. I hope that in future, every life lost in Kenya will count. Whether that life is lost at the hands of terrorists or other Kenyans who are criminals, we should value it. This is something I have said for the longest time. I hope what we have seen will be translated into action. When a life of any citizen or anyone else in this country is lost, it is something that we will take with the seriousness that we showed the other day when the Westgate Mall was attacked. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
