    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First, I would like to pass my condolences to the people of Garissa and the Kenyans whose children’s lives have been taken away by ruthless men and women of this world. Madam Temporary Speaker, when we talk about security in this House, the first thing that we need to do is to support and encourage those who are in security management and the Defence Forces, so that they know that they have a House which supports them. We speak here without knowing what kind of facilities our forces have. We are not sure that they are capable enough to protect this country, in view of the new technology which is taking place all over the world in terms of security strategies. Madam Temporary Speaker, we must realize that this country is now caught up in three problems and it is not a matter of CORD or Jubilee Coalition. It is a problem that affects all of us. We are confronted by major problems which present themselves very clearly and glaringly, like terrorism, cattle rustling and many others. It is only when we can sit down as a people of this nation, the Opposition and the Government, to agree not necessarily to have dialogue but let the Opposition come out with their security programme and let the Government of Kenya do the same. We need to find two major groups, the Government and the Opposition coming out and acknowledging that there is a major problem in this country without blaming anyone. 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."
