    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have an explanation that can really satisfy this House as well as Kenyans regarding the prevailing insecurity in the country. To expect the Chairman to crack the whip is like expecting him to revive a dead person. I am saying this because I do not have the ability to do that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, the issue of insecurity is being felt at the heart of the Government. Last night after coming from the mosque at 9.00 p.m., I watched the President addressing the County Commissioners. He was telling them: “If I cannot sleep at night, I will not let you sleep also.” So, if the Head of State can say that, who is Sen. Haji, as the Chairman of a Committee of the Senate to do anything other than trying to get the answers from the horse’s mouth? Mr. Speaker, Sir, my heart is very heavy; that in spite of this matter being brought to the attention of the Government yesterday, no action was taken. That is why I did something which is not normal. When this matter came to my attention, I walked on foot from here to Harambee House. Since the Principal Secretary was not available, I went to see the other people in charge. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of Turkana, I want to appeal to my brother that two wrongs do not make a right. It is not right to go and stop the exploration of oil, because The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
