    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to condole with the families and friends of the Kenyans who have died in Garissa. On my behalf and that of the people of Wajir and the people of North Eastern Province, I would like to say that it is a very sad moment for Kenya and, particularly, for the families who lost their loved ones. That scenario is very saddening and shocking for all Kenyans and all human beings who care about life. The sad part is that the terrorists are with us everywhere and they are terrorizing Kenyans and other human beings every minute, and nothing is being done to apprehend them. It is very sad that the terrorists are dividing Kenya. They are also trying to create an impression that they are connected to a religion. I want to confirm that those terrorists are not human beings; they have no religion and they attack anybody. They are always creating a rift between human beings. They do not respect any religion or life. They are people who terrorize others. They are always fighting people within the communities that they live in. Hon. Deputy Speaker, what saddens me is that there were reports that an alert was given that the same Garissa University was likely to be attacked by Al Shabaab. What is shocking is that the security agency in Garissa and the National Intelligence Service did not provide adequate security to protect the students and other people who were under threat. One sad thing is that the national Government is not devolving enough money to security agencies at the county level, which is evident in our counties. In Wajir, recently, the County Commissioner and other security agencies could not respond to emergencies because of lack of vehicles, fuel and other resources that could enable them do their work properly. It is a high time the national Government devolved money to the security agencies so that they can be able to operate effectively and restore law and order."
