    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is unfortunate that the time does not allow us to say much. It is interesting that this attack has come just after the announcement that President Obama is coming to visit this country. I have no doubt in my mind that part of the reason for the timing of this attack is to show the rest of the world that Kenya is not a safe destination for anybody, let alone the American President. I am, therefore, convinced that our forces must take all the necessary measures to ensure that the culprits of this heinous act are immediately brought to book. This is a time for us to be patriotic. This is the time for Kenyans to speak in one voice and not point fingers, but to remember that this kind of act happened in Pakistan where children were killed in school. Not too long ago, there was an attack of similar nature in Paris. As we speak today, the Boko Haram continues with their operations in Nigeria. Therefore, as we criticize our nation, let us also remain patriotic, remembering that what our nation is faced with is not just something against Kenya alone. This is an institutional framework that is global in nature. Terrorism is not just a Kenyan event."
