    "content": "Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to contribute and pass my sympathies to all those people who were affected by the brutal actions meted out by terrorists on Saturday, Sunday and yesterday. We are not sure whether they are there or not. We are yet to be informed. I am saddened because I would have been caught up in the violence at the Mall. However, my conscience was clear and within two minutes, I had already made a decision not to go. My nephew was there and held for five hours with his children. He managed to crawl outside to safety with a lot of difficulties. These are things which are real. They have affected us. So, as we contribute, we are serious about what we are saying. This issue could have happened anywhere. Whatever happened at Westgate Mall can happen here. Whenever I park my car at the basement, I always pray that it will not happen like it did in 1998 to the American Embassy. That is where they entered through and blew the Embassy from below. We need to be very serious when scrutinizing people who visit public buildings. We also need to be very thorough when it comes to the chiefs and sub chiefs. I read somewhere about what was happening and it seems as if these people had met earlier in Mombasa. I am not trying to castigate anybody, but it is said that they were there, to set up the explosives. They then travelled to Nairobi. When I saw the way they were armed, I wondered whether they just landed in that building from the air because other people should have seen them. The way they cocked their guns and the heavy arsenal they had is a mystery. We need to laud the security officers who are there, but 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."
