    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to join my colleagues in sending condolences to all the victims of these attacks. The Quran asks us; are they equal those who know and those who know not? The truth of the matter in this situation is that the Jubilee Government is clueless on how to combat this sophisticated crime. The arrogance and the nature of the Jubilee Government is not to accept that it does not know and seek the coordination, collaboration and partnership of those who know. The truth is that crime is sophisticated. These are not challenges that other countries have not dealt with. Terrorism is a global threat; it has global partnerships, it has global experts and people who know better. These people have been able to mitigate the threat of terrorism in their countries. We try to hang to our cocoons, tribe mates, regional mates and friends because it is hard for us to admit that where we do not know, we must seek the support of those who know. Therefore, we have pursued a strategy that is outdated, archaic and that is unable to meet the challenges of sophistication of the crime called terrorism. In the interim, we have occasioned ourselves enormous loss. We have also threatened the social fabric of this country and the very existence of this nation by endless insecurity in regions that are hitherto marginalized. I want to join the Senator for Bungoma County when he said that it is important right now to have a bi-partisan approach where people can contribute ideas. It is not true 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."
