    "content": "Moi, the Government of Mzee K ibaki and that of mkate nusu . We have a serious thing. What do we need to do now? We need to unite across the political divide. The religious leaders, be they Muslims, Christians or Hindus have a fundamental role to play. We will not allow our houses of worship to be turned into-- Be it a Christian house; be it a Muslim house; be it a Hindu house or a synagogue, it is a house of worship. In my constituency, there are over 500 mosques. At 8:30 p.m. after the last prayer, it is closed and then it is opened at 5.00 a.m. We must ask ourselves: Where did the rain start beating us? We must stand with the President. We must stand as political leaders. We must offer a solution. We have the legislative powers. The days are gone when we pointed fingers. Days are gone. We have 28 Kenyans who were butchered. Let AlShabaab not cheat us. Let them not use the card to divide our country along religious and ethnic lines. Every day, they kill Muslims in Mogadishu. They kill ministers and students. Are they Christians? They are not Christians. When they say that they have killed 28 Kenyans because of Mombasa, shame on them. They do not represent anybody. The card they are playing is to divide our nation; a united nation, based on religion and ethnicity. Let this House unite. Let the political divide unite. Let us stand together with the President and the Government and make sure Kenya is a safe country. Without peace, there is no development. Without peace, the Jubilee Government will not fulfill its promises. If today the Jubilee Coalition in the National Assembly fails, hon. Duale must take responsibility. I am the leader of the Jubilee Coalition in the House. But security is different. I want to ask the Members, if the President lands tonight and sacks ole Lenku and Kimaiyo, what assurance can we get that Al Shabaab will not cross the border?"
