    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to join my colleagues in condemning the two gentlemen who made the very unfortunate remarks in Facebook regarding Sen. Hassan Omar in the strongest terms possible. This is unfortunate. This is a time when this country needs unity more than ever. Fighting terror needs a concerted effort that will unite this country more than divide it. I do not think that it is right for anyone to cast aspersions on Sen. Hassan or any other Member of this House for that matter. Leaders have every right to comment on any issue that touches on the lives of Kenyans. Let me put it this way: Recently, the Attorney-General talked about the regulations of churches and mosques, which I personally spoke about. Places of worship are different from places of charity and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). Therefore, leaders have every right to proactively and very constructively help the Government to look for ideal solutions. There is a challenge in this country. We cannot fight terrorism without engaging everyone. This is worrying all of us, whether we are from the north or the south, irrespective of our party affiliations or religious denominations. We need to work together as a team and ensure that we help our people and nation. I condemn these people. They must be taken to court, not tomorrow but yesterday. The DPP must act."
