    "content": "Initiative; honestly, is it Nyumba Kumi terrorism? In my view, there is need to relook into Organized Crimes Act, Money Laundering Act and other anti-terrorism laws that we recently brought before this House. Unless and until we look into those laws and see how we can tighten them, we are losing this fight to terrorists. Corruption, as has been mentioned by these Committees, is a serious issue. In fact, corruption at the Immigration Department is one of our weaknesses. It is tied to our fate. Everybody who goes there gets their travel documents from this department. This department should be looked into deeply. There is need to ensure that the people who are in charge of people who come into this country are vetted by even by the National Intelligence Service (NIS). Foreigners come here, go back and come again. This brings to mind the escape of the British terrorist woman, who is well known, namely Samatha Lewthwaite in Shanzu two years ago. She had been arrested by our police officers with a lot of cash and laptops, and she was let loose. This is because she left the cash and went with the laptops. She fled the country, went and planned other attacks and is a suspect in the planning of the Westgate terrorist attack. Nobody investigated the officers who were said to have held this woman to establish how she escaped from their grip. These are some of the things that we need to seriously look into The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
