    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a straight forward Motion and I think it should not be subjected to any amendment. This is an opportunity for this House to air its views and what the problem would be in the next one year. It shows that the management of the Senate is doing a very good job because we can see them planning. If we do not plan today, we may remain unplanned. Therefore, it is important for us to appreciate what the Senate Majority Leader has put forward to us. I hope that during recess, there will be no incident which will warrant this House to be recalled. It has been a practice in the past that during recess many things happen. I do not know why it happens during the recess. May be this time round with the new system of governance, things may have changed. I believe it has changed because we have very energetic leadership. We think the leaders of this nation will do what they say. I believe that they have a lot to lose if they do not stick to what they say. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we, as a Senate, need to be aware that if this country does not do well, it will not spare any one of us. Therefore, all of us must be concerned with the security of this nation. There is insecurity all over, including Mombasa and Nairobi. We need to be extremely concerned, especially during the recess. The things which are going on in Mombasa County are matters of grave concern and we cannot see the end of it. These issues of terrorism started many years ago with the Palestinian movement and later it was taken over by Muslim extremists. We need to know that it is not the resolution of this House or through Cabinet meetings that will stop what is happening. It is when we decide to change our system of management of our security 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."
