    "content": "Hon. Senators must see the nexus. These are IDPs who then get internally displaced to the camps where they are all massed together as refugees. But since the Government is forever awake, it has got that document which I have tabled. To show Sen. Haji the seriousness of this matter, the Government allowed the International Peace Institute to commission an expert called Peter Castro in September, 2011, and in this paper which I am going to table, the expert from the International Peace Institute has spoken as follows, if you just allow me to quote on one statement, he says:- “For many developing countries and fragile states, powerful trans-national criminal networks, constitute a direct threat to the state itself, not through open confrontation but by penetrating state institutions through bribery and corruption and by subverting or undermining them from within. Governments that lack the capacity to counter such penetration or acquiesce to it run the risk of becoming criminalized or captured states.” This paper examines where and how Kenya faces its threats. So, if the supreme organ of legislation on this land can just try to play “Mr. Nice”, when children and women and innocent officers are being butchered by non-Somali Kenyans as we saw at the Westgate Mall, then we would be sleeping on the job."
