    "content": "these murders? What about Busia, where more than 40 people lost their lives – Tesos and Luhyas? It is not that certain lives of certain people or certain communities are more precious than other communities! It is happening everywhere, everyday, and I am telling you, as the great American President, Harry Truman, said; “the buck stops with me”. So, if the people who are in charge of security cannot do their work properly, then the buck will stop with the President. He is held hostage by people who served in various and previous regimes that cannot show any responsibility and any talent in the fight against terrorism and crime. We can name them; and if you hear the utterances, particularly of the CS in charge of the Interior and Co-ordination of National Government, he has no idea of what is happening! Even today, the statements he has made, he has changed his mind nearly ten times since I started listening to him in the morning. He began by saying it was the Al Shabaab ; then he said it was political; and now the President and his CS are not telling us the same story about what happened in Lamu. From what we are getting, it is that a poor commissioner in charge of the sub- county is the one being punished. The people who went to Lamu were an organized military force, they had sophisticated weapons – they had machine guns and grenades – and this is not the type of equipment you find in an ordinary police station. The Kenyan security forces were found flatfooted. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what amazes me is that these travel advisories that the United Kingdom (UK) plus the Americans give are shared out with the Kenyan Government every time. Instead, when the British closed their consulate; the CS for Foreign Affairs said “Consulates are always closed.” That was her answer, and that is the truth; that was her answer! Now, we cannot continue like this; if I was in State House today, the first person who would go would be the Director of Intelligence."
