    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to commend many Kenyans. On Sunday, I went to the Westgate and Visa Oshwal Centre. Many Kenyans came out to volunteer their services. Women from the Asian community were at hand to feed the doctors who came out to give services. This is commendable. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to echo one thing which I saw in the media; that this is one country and one people. Indeed, this problem has brought us together as one. This is how we would like it to be in this country. It is only unfortunate that we tend to forget. When things happen to us, we put into place strict security measures, but it is short-lived. I am even very concerned here in this Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) Building. I would like to appeal that the security in this building be intensified because it is a target. Therefore, the security officers should not relax. Sometimes you find people in your office and you do not even know how they came there because there is nobody who checks them. Therefore, security should be intensified. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to join my colleagues in saying that our forces tried. But why should they have to wait until it is late? Sen. Sonko cautioned them, but no action was taken. The people who were eating at the Artcaffe on Friday saw people going up and down. This was reported, but no action was taken. Why do we have to wait until we lose people in this manner? As I join the rest in mourning the innocent Kenyans, I think that we need to be very alert as a country.
