    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to second this Motion and in doing so, I want to thank Sen. G.G. Kariuki and all of us for agreeing to listen and speak to this Motion in detail, given the nature of security demands in this country. Security is very paramount and we need to thoroughly look at those aspects and ask the national Government as indicated in the Motion, to constitute a committee that will enrich the National Security Committee. As legislators, we are asking that this is harnessed because of the threats that we are experiencing in our country. All the problems we are experiencing have been enlisted here. It is not fair to continue using the old tactics and regulations that were in place long before Independence as enumerated by Sen. G.G. Kariuki, given his history as one of the longest serving Ministers for Internal Security. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the external threats that we are experiencing from our neighbours demand that we look at our borders so keenly. It necessitates that we put a lot of efforts as Senators into looking at this situation and asking the national Government to deal with it as a priority on top of the other development agenda that we have. What does it profit us to move into any development without dealing with the security of our country? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
