    "content": "communicated to the relevant departments, officers and institutions as the sentiments of the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the second issue on the Sharawe report, my understanding of the Constitution is that when reports by commissions of inquiry under Cap.102 are presented to the President, they are supposed to be made public at the time of presentation. There have been so many reports which have been presented in the past even after the entry of the Constitution but which were not made public, which in my view is unconstitutional. Likewise I want to make an undertaking before this Senate that immediately, we will communicate to all the Government departments involved to ensure, not only the Sharawe report, but also any other reports of inquiry which may have been submitted to Government after the new Constitution which demands their publication, that the Government complies with the rule of law and with the Constitution of our country. Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, concerning the grave issue of insecurity and the mindless violence that we have witnessed in the past few weeks in our country, I would like to say the following; everybody is affected by this issue. It is in that context that one of the things that the President of our nation has decided to highlight in his address to the Joint Sitting of the two Houses of Parliament tomorrow is the state of security in our country. I am sure that, perhaps after his address, this House will have three days to see whether, perhaps, that will be an opportunity to respond to the things that have been highlighted by Sen. Wetangula. He will be addressing the issue of insecurity in one bulletin."
