    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir for giving me this chance to echo, like my colleagues, my condolences to the families of those who have passed away. Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o has mentioned a common friend of ours, a person who was with us in college, whose son died in this terrorism act. The young man had introduced me to his fiancé and she also died in the same attack. Terrorism has shown that it will stop at nothing to make us victims of itself. Part of the reason a person can become as inhuman as we have seen is because he has certain believes that if he dies while killing other people, he will then go to some uplifted heaven. Today, most of the terrorists sit on the right and left side of Satan. There is no heaven that anyone who has done this kind of act can possibly be going to. We must also appreciate that nobody should expect defending our nation against terrorism to be easy. These people will not stop because evil is here with us, all over the world. You heard the same people on Al Jazeera saying that terrorism in Kenya will continue. Therefore, we must rededicate ourselves to support our troops, our police, with all the vigilance we can gather. We must also put extra resources to our intelligence and police service. We must appreciate that the battle we are seeing today is not a battle between Kenya and terrorism, but it is a war between terrorism and peaceful and democratic peoples all over the world. This is not just Kenya. The people who died do not only belong to this nation. Let us appreciate that terrorism is no longer what it used to be.
