    "content": "die, who will enjoy these rights that we so vehemently and passionately purport to be defending? How many more lives are we going to lose before we intervene as leaders of this country? The country is in a crisis. It is in an emergency situation. It is on fire. We have lost lives and property. We are in desperation, but we are not helpless because we can do something through legislation. I come from a region that has been torn apart by conflicts and insecurity. I am a victim of aggression. I have witnessed terrorist attacks, ruthless and brutal cold blooded killings, which all of us have witnessed in the recent past. Indeed, it is going to be a sad day for Kenya, if, after seeing what happened at the Westgate, we are not going to support this Bill. It is going to be a sad day, if, after Mpeketoni, Mandera I and Mandera II, we are not able to decide that we need to deter these occurrences. After Baragoi and Kapedo, you only need to be a foreigner not to understand our concerns. I agree that legislation is only a drop in the ocean. We need to do a lot. We need to make radical reforms, as the Chairperson of the Committee on Administration and National Security has said. Even what the President did is just a drop. We are beginning the process and it will continue. This Bill sychronises the Act to resonate with the Constitution. For instance, it changes terminologies like “Police Commissioner” to “Inspector-General of Police” and “province” to “county”."
