    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to contribute to this very important Report. It is about eight months since this Report was tabled in the House. The President then wanted the support of this House to address the issue of national security. He highlighted the challenges that were facing this country then. Today, this Report has been overtaken by events. Several criminal activities have taken place. You will realise that this Report was submitted after the Westgate attack had taken place. Today, there are many criminal activities and the challenge of terrorism is there. The President wanted this House to look at this critical issue that was facing this nation at that particular time. We should not, as a House, continue to be trivial in addressing issues which are unnecessary; issues like what the Leader of Majority Party has said that the security organs in this country do not need to be modernised. How can you combat and confront the security challenges if your security organs are not properly manned and equipped? When you talk of welfare, it is nothing when it comes to the defence of this country. You can give us houses, but houses will not defend Kenya."
