    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to start by sending my heartfelt condolences to friends and Members of the families of the 39 victims of the second Mandera massacre. I also want to, at this early stage, congratulate our President for sacking ole Lenku and Kimaiyo. To him, I say, this is too little, too late. Mr. President, did you have to wait for hundreds of Kenyans to be killed right from Bungoma, Likoni, Gikomba, Westgate, Mpeketoni, Kapedo, Mandera I, Moyale, Wajir and Mandera II? This is too little too late. We expected that today, Karangi, the Chief of Kenya Defence Forces should have gone. Karangi must go. Why should he not go? Karangi is the same person whose soldiers are partying everyday in Kismayu. They have abandoned the primary reason that took them there. They are selling charcoal and sugar and, in the process, killing the sugar industry in Kenya and the President sees nothing wrong with that. We expected the Director of Criminal Investigations Department, CID, Ndegwa Muhoro to go. Today, I want to proudly apologise to the President for having faced him in a function in Bungoma when I told him to see what he saw this morning. I am not sure whether I should apologise or request him to invite me for a cup of tea, so that I occasionally give him advice. That was good advice. Had he acted that time, the 39 youth who have died – you have pictures – are children of the less privileged, those who work in the quarry. These are not children of Ministers, Presidents, Deputy Presidents, Senators and what have you. 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."
