    "content": "I ask my colleagues to watch the Al Shabaab propaganda video, and how they attacked the Westgate and Mpeketoni. For Mpeketoni, they came on foot from Somalia through the Boni Forest. In the footage, you can see a number of people speaking in Kiswahili. There are over 400 Kenyans who are trained by the Al Shabaab . They are very lethal. We should not bury our heads in the sand only reacting when Al Shabaab hits. We must have a strategy on how to handle this menace. Sometimes we ask whether our security forces are up to the task. We have pursued Al Shabaab in Somalia, but it is very unfortunate to say that most of our military personnel are in the barracks. They are not pursuing Al Shabaab . Instead of being offensive, we have become defensive, which is very wrong. We must try to take charge. In fact, I support the suggestion by the Chairman of the committee on Administration and National Security that we better employ our Standard Eight school leavers, because the Form Fours and graduates do not want to die. Why should they join the military or the police if they do not want to die? If everybody thinks about money and how to build houses, who is going to protect this country?"
