"content": "Mombasa to meet all the stakeholders and bring a report concerning what happened; the truth behind what happened in Masjid Musa Mosque. We do not need to set up an ad-hoc committee. The Committee led by hon. Kamama can take up that investigation, if you order so. Secondly, the matter before the House today is so serious it concerns the violation of Article 32(1) of the Constitution, where security forces went into a place of worship. As a Member of Parliament that represents a constituency which is 90 per cent Muslim, where there are over 825 mosques--- The same goes, I am sure, for my Christian brothers; the sanctity of a place of worship is well protected in our Constitution. This must be investigated. I want the Chair to clarify, was there any other option available for our security officers? If you look at that claim, it looks very ugly on the part of the Muslim community that some of us lead. This House has about 20 per cent of Muslim faithful. The storming of Masjid Musa Mosque is a serious issue to be discussed. Secondly, the radicalization of Muslim youth on terrorism is also a very serious matter for our country. We want the Committee also to discuss the causes of radicalization and bring a report to this House on the way forward and solutions. This House can help the Government put strategic measures in the war against terrorism after looking at the causes of radicalization. I want to ask the Chair because he has engaged the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government what prompted the action and what is the way forward? Was that the start of storming mosques? If that is the start, then we have a serious issue as Muslims."
