    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this amendment by Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. The issue of national security has become an urgent and almost a permanent feature of our political life. It is only the other day we were talking about Kapedo and before that we were talking about the issues in Mombasa, Mandera and Lamu. We do not know where next we shall be talking about issues of insecurity. His Excellency the President has been holding a meeting today with the security officers regarding the deteriorating security situation in the country. We too as a legislature; as a Senate, have a duty also to do much more than what we have been doing. We have passed Motions upon Motions on the legislature calling upon the Government to do various things, but it is our mandate which we have been given by the Constitution to do proper investigations and make more concrete recommendations to the Government as to what can be done to stem the spiraling and deteriorating security situation in the country. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
