    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. On behalf of myself and the people of Seme Constituency, I wish to pass my condolences to those who have been bereaved. I must also condemn that act and those who have perpetrated it and also thank the security team that has responded in whatever way. I also agree that this is a time we must work together as a nation and look at this issue of security together. What we have and whatever we say is a failure of the security system. We have passed laws, shouted at each other here, torn each other‘s clothes and beaten each other. In the end, what have we received? I have said before that this country is at war. We went into Somalia and actually won the war in Somalia. But the warfront was brought back into Kenya. We are not responding as a country at war. This is guerilla warfare; a continuation of what happened in Somalia. In my mind, the single biggest failure we have is the failure of using security information. Nothing happens. No catastrophe occurs, for all the time we have been here, every month we have had these adjournments and each time there was a rumour that everybody knew. Other countries even passed information and advisories. How come we did not use the information if everybody knew? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
