    "content": "assured by God that we shall all test death. The time and circumstances are well known to only the Creator. Again, yesterday when I was on the verge of going to check on the progress of this complaint to the DPP – of which letter I copied to you, Sen. Wetangula in his capacity as the Senate Minority Leader of this House and Sen. Prof. Kindiki, as the Senate Majority Leader whom I recognize – my social media team again brought to my attention the following information on the continued commission of this crime, perpetuated by one Mr. Willy Omosa. He wrote on 23rd November, 2014 at 21.30 – I have printed it out as further information for the DPP. It says:- “If Omar Hassan would have been shot dead at the time he defended Muslim terrorists, we would not have had the Mandera attack. If Mohammed Ali would have been jailed for inciting remarks to his Muslim following, we could have been safe. The fact is that these humans are still alive and inciting terrorists. That way, we cannot have peace. Lastly, how do we call a house full of grenades a Mosque? That is a devil’s workshop. Just bring it down with a caterpillar.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, by the time I printed this post this morning, there were 55 likes and at least 50 comments. In fact, as Omosa participated, he said: “Omar Hassan must go first. He must be “ makaburid” and many other things to that extent.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am never scared. Over the last seven or eight years, I have faced a lot of threats to my personal security, but I never made a fuss out of it. However, there are red lines. Mugo Wairimu has 15,000 followers on his Facebook account. He continues to post hate messages. I have seen some of them in the past, but I have taken them very lightly. There is a red line. I am asking this House to take consciousness of this fact and assert itself to the offices that bear responsibility to arrest and prosecute these individuals. This should be deterrence to those who want to pose an actual threat to anybody’s life or security. We do not live in a kangaroo state. You cannot publish such kind of information or casual comments on the personal safety and security of an individual and that individual is not just any individual; he is the Senator for Mombasa County which has one million people. I, therefore, find it offensive and I hope the DPP will act with speed. I have also spoken to the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) to partner with me to ensure that we bring some perpetrators of such crimes to book. I do not believe there is any Kenyan law or freedom of expression that allows this type of transgression. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought that it was important to share this information with this House, so that it can be in the public domain and in the knowledge of all of you. Thank you."
