    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I also want to congratulate the Senator for Mombasa for bringing this Motion. My condolences go to the family, friends and entire people of Mombasa County. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, every Kenyan is entitled to life. That is the provision of the Constitution. If you read the Bible and also the Quran there is that provision; that God is the giver of life. Nobody should take the life of a Kenyan. This incident has happened at a time when all of us feel that there is insecurity in the country. Therefore, we, as leaders, must do something regardless of where we come from or which political divide we come from. This is a common problem and all of us must work towards providing a solution to this issue. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is possible for us to use the energy and skills possessed by our young people to build this great Republic, rather than using it to attack and kill innocent Kenyans. These attackers have a trend of killing even innocent children. The same thing happened in Rwanda where children as young as one year, were killed mercilessly. The problem of insecurity is not only in Mombasa, but affects the whole country. If tourists stopped going to Mombasa because of insecurity all of us in the country will suffer. There will be slow economic progress and development in the country. Therefore, all of us must ensure that we have long-lasting peace in Mombasa. This problem must come to an end. We cannot keep quiet when our people are being killed like animals. 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."
