    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the calendar as presented by the Senate Majority Leader. I have gone through it and I do not think there are any major changes that I would recommend. While supporting this, may I take this opportunity to condole with the grieving families who lost their lives and their loved ones in the barbaric attack in a house of worship by fellow Kenyans. I want to grieve with the families and the entire Christian community and the nation of Kenya. I want to state that these attacks in churches are going out of hand. In my opinion, I do not see what statement anybody could be making by attacking a place of worship. When you see the picture of the young boy aged one and a half years going through so much pain and suffering because somebody somewhere was annoyed with a Government policy, then I do not know what to make of it. What wrong did that child do? For those who lost their lives, the only criminal offence that they could have done is to go to worship their God. I think it is time that this nation comes out strongly to refuse to continue condoning and tolerating people who are hiding behind religion or any ideology or belief to kill fellow Kenyans and fellow human beings. In my opinion, and as a Christian, the Bible states very clearly that when you are slapped on one cheek then you should turn the other. What is not very clear is how many times you are supposed to be turning your cheeks. This is not indefinite."
