    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to add my voice in condemning this barbaric act that has happened in this country again. It is very sad. I was going through the Constitution and I reminded myself of its supremacy. If you read this Constitution, Article 2 and the fundamental freedoms contained herein, with specific reference to Chapter 4 of the Constitution which contains the Bill of Rights, in Article 26, it states that every person has a right to life. If you read that together with Article 27(1), you will know which situation we are dealing with. Nowadays in Kenya, you do not know what else to do. Christians are being killed every other day in churches and you are not even sure you are safe when you use public transport. The other day we witnessed people being pulled out of buses, being killed and paraded in broad daylight. Even when you go shopping, you are also murdered. This barbaric act has now found its way to institutions of higher learning. Whatever the case, what crime did these young intelligent Kenyans in an institution of higher learning commit? Which other way can somebody communicate hatred? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, honestly speaking, where else can it be safe when we cannot even take our children to school? It is now a matter of concern for all of us who are parents, so that when your children are in school, you do not know whether they will come back home safe. You do not even know whether to keep them home and deny them the opportunity to learn. 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."
