"content": "Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will also take a short time. I want to commend the House during this very short Session. As the Senate Leader of the Minority has said, it has been a very illustrious Session. He and the Senate Majority Leader have shown exemplary leadership. I hope when we come back we will continue the way we have started this particular Session. In the old days when the House was going on recess, then you knew something was going to happen while you were away. But the Constitution has pointed out that we can be recalled at any time when there is need. Not just be recalled by the leadership, but the Members have a mechanism for calling back the House. I wanted to say this in regard to what is going on in the country in matters to do with security. We appreciate the on-going security operations in terms of the fact that we must protect lives and property, but when we find out that during this operation, we are being told that there are so many aliens, then that is a matter which I cannot determine; probably, the courts. This means that in the first place, somebody is sleeping on his job. While we are conducting an operation in relation to terrorism, this operation is looking more like we are trying to make sure that the aliens are removed from the country. So, the security organs must really wake up. When we are doing an operation like this, it means that we affect the lives of many peaceful and ordinary Kenyans who get The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
