Even on Sunday after this serious crime, the police were saying they do not think it is terrorism but just a crime. The mere fact that we are letting people commit crimes and go unpunished is the reason why others get the incentive to commit crime. It could even be possible that it is the same people who continue to commit these crimes but because they have not been arrested, they are still around with us. So, I want to urge the Government to be more proactive and ensure that they bring to book those who are harassing other Kenyans. Kenyans today and particularly Christians cannot go to houses of worship in peace. I think it is deplorable to kill people in their houses of worship. I think it is also 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."
