    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion, with a lot of humility and sadness in my heart. This is because we are talking about human beings, Kenyans and God’s creation. We are not talking about an ethnic group or a people coming from one region or the other. Human beings have been killed and Kenyans are losing their lives. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, insecurity is insecurity and death is death. There is no death that is sadder or more painful than the other. I am talking as a mother. When you lose a life or a child, the death of one child is as painful as the death of the other child.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
