    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will not take lot of time. I want to thank the Mover because he has been very elaborate. We do not want Kenya to become a failed state. We love this country and insecurity has been a major problem. I am sure that on this one, we will unite across the political divide because Kenya is under attack. We have to save this country from this menace that is about to tear it apart.

Why was the bus released when buses are supposed to go under escort, especially in terrorist-prone areas? I have walked everywhere and talked to very many police officers, and asked them, why are you not saving us? Why are we having so much insecurity? Their morale is down. Let us call a spade a spade.
