    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to join those who have conveyed condolences to the families of Hon. Muchai and also the other members of his staff who were with him on that fateful day. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very sad that life could be lost in a matter of minutes through the cruel hands of the criminals. While we are witnessing such an event, it should be noted that in our counties, so many similar events are occurring. We have had cases where even boda boda riders have been hijacked; taxi drivers have been hijacked and sometimes killed for no apparent reason. It would appear that after the incident, no action is taken. We seem to have a security system that does not use technology to detect crime, more particularly forensic technology. We have technology in the world that can detect crime, particularly where firearms have been used. These firearms have been re- used in previous crimes and with proper forensic experts, we can detect and pinpoint the culprits. Mr. Speaker, Sir, such events happening in our cities, particularly Nairobi, send very wrong signals all over the world regarding the safety of our country and city. Hence, sometimes we get wrong classifications of our cities although we are striving very much to promote our country as a tourist destination. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I send condolences to the security officers who died together with Hon. Muchai. In fact, one of them, Mr. ole Motanta, was my neighbour. It is really hurting. I send condolences to the family. 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."
