    "content": "Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to thank all the Members who have contributed to this Motion. I just wish many more Members had taken time to read the specific recommendations in this Report, and that they had taken more time to read the details of this Report. Fifty-six Members could not have sat down and produced total rubbish. One of the key issues that we grappled with in the Committee hearings was the generality of the intelligence that was provided; we had much debate about whether this information or intelligence, was specific and actionable, as all intelligence information must be. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the issue of refugee camps certainly came out very clearly from the NIS and the CID reports; Kakuma was the epicenter of the planning and organization of the Westgate Shopping Mall attack. So, the issue of the refugees must be in the mind of this country. Repatriation is a priority. It must happen. We must proceed with closing down those refugee camps; they are just hospitality that Kenya has extended to refugees. It is not a guaranteed right for refugee to have a place to stay in Kenya. What we also sought to do was to protect the integrity of the security forces. Ultimately, we cannot do what the terrorist failed to do. That is why we recommended the creation of the Directorate of National Security so that, under its umbrella, we may be able to analyze situations and make changes in the security forces as is found necessary; we have to have a cover from the top. With those remarks, I beg to support."
