We cannot all be happy because there was an option. We cannot be happy because during that bungled operation, people were maimed. There was a youth who lost his life. We are all old enough in this Senate, except for a few early risers like Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., and we should ask ourselves who are these youth? These youth that are being killed extra-judicially are the age mates of our sons. How would you feel for you to come home and find that your son has been executed? We must say “no” to this. The Kenya Police should have used intelligence in those mosques. If there were 200 youth there, why did you not have about 10 to 20 youth who could have reported to the National Intelligence Service? Why not follow those ones who are the problem and then arrest them at home and arraign them before court? The ones who are now being prepared to join them will realize that their days are numbered. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me comment on two cases of how intelligence works effectively. You will remember while we are in this very Chamber in the last Parliament, Prof. Saitoti stood there at the Dispatch Box and named politicians and business people in this country who are drug traffickers. After Prof. Saitoti died, that thing just went cold completely and yet he had started the trail. Some of us do not know why he died; we do not know whether he died in the hands of terrorists. As the Jubilee Government, you have been waiting for the American Government to do intelligence for you before you arrest the Akasha sons. Based on what Prof. Saitoti said in this House, we know that those sons are connected to certain politicians. In fact, a few months ago – maybe it passed your attention - those sons met one of the so called Kenyan politicians in Kongowea, let me call him an activist because he has never been in any of the assemblies, and they started a fist fight. They fought until this political activist floored all of them. What were they fighting over if not for the spoils of the drugs that they traffic? The Americans have demonstrated that if you use intelligence you can crash international drug networks. Similarly, the British have also demonstrated that you can use intelligence to crash international corruption networks. You all know what is going on in the United Kingdom (UK). Where the networks of corruption in Britain that feed or were feeding the corruption networks in this country, went and reached one of our most sacred institutions; the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). This country must be made of people with thick skins. Were we not expecting that before 1.00 p.m. today, the Chairman of IEBC, Hassan would have resigned? Has he resigned?"}
