    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to join my colleagues in condemning the terrorist attack that took place in Mandera, where the governor almost lost his life. We lost the lives of many other Kenyans. The Al Shabaab threat is real. The sooner we confront it as a nation the better for all of us. We have heard that from Border Point One in Mandera all the way through Liboi, Difu to Kiunga it is a long stretch. We need to deal with this menace of terrorism in a very special way. It should not be in the normal casual way in which we have been dealing with it. My colleague, hon. Gethenji is here; I want to recommend that locals be given Kenya Police Reservists, so that they can manage their own affairs. It now looks like it is a free for all. The governor cannot move. He cannot visit projects in his county and that part of the county is grounded. They should be given the Kenya Police Reservists and our intelligence system should up their game. We will beat these terrorists using superior intelligence and not through the casual way in which we have been handling security matters. We also want to recommend that instead of the KDF under the AMISOM staying in Kismayu or Ras Kamboni, they should man the area between El Wak and Mandera. That is the only way in which they can repulse these terrorists. Therefore, this should be done as a matter of urgency, so that people can have confidence in the security forces. I know that a lot has been said about the terrorists, but The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
