They do not want to live in harmony with their fellow human beings causing us unnecessary and untold embarrassment and suffering by killing our visitors, killing us. Westgate is a place where we take our children all the time. They celebrate their birthday parties there and so on. So, it could have been any of us. That is the time you realise that as you leave your house and come to the Senate--- Sen. Sonko has told us about the safety of the KICC. It is time we learnt serious lessons from this incident. We should tighten our security because we do not know whether we can go back. We do not know whether there is a bomb beneath our seats. Our Government and the security personnel should learn a lesson and take advantage of this incident and, probably, search the entire building to ensure that everywhere is safe and then tighten security. We should also look at our neighbourhoods. There are neighbours who just move in lock themselves up and people do not know what they are doing. We must interrogate them and be each other’s keepers to ensure that our lives are safe. I wish to thank the political leadership; His Excellency the President, the former Prime Minister and the Senate Minority Leader for coming up together in solidarity to fight this heinous act of terrorism. I urge them to continue fighting a worse monster; that is, corruption. It is clear that all this is happening because of corruption. We have heard these tales in various capacities. As a lawyer when dealing with an election petition, I often here that that people come from Somalia, get identity cards and vote in this country. Madam Temporary Speaker, we should keep our borders safe and ensure that our lives are safe. These people are taking us back. When we forge ahead in development activities, we end up going back to think about our security. We divert resources and our economy becomes weaker at a time when Kenyans going through a lot."
