    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to pass my condolences and those of the people of Matungulu to the families of the young lives that we lost this morning in Garissa. It is the saddest Thursday before Jesus was crucified and it makes me sadder to imagine that those young people have lost their lives at a very tender age. We want to condole with their families and friends. We must rise to the occasion as leaders of Kenya without fear or favor of contradiction. There is total security sabotage and total collapse of our security system through corruption. It is saddening when we sit here, as hon. Members of Parliament, go through the Budget cycle to make money available to the security operators in this country and yet, they cannot do proper accounting of the money allocated by this House to make sure that hon. Members of Parliament know whether the money allocated went to the right place. It is against human rights and any right to life to terminate young peoples‘ lives like this. This nation needs to go an extra mile until whoever is sabotaging the Government from inside is found and dealt with ruthlessly. We can be convinced today that somebody somewhere had information, passed it to the social media, but not to the relevant authorities so that what he or she was planning is not known. It is high time to say that, as a country, enough is enough. Kenyans should not die anymore and, as leaders, we do not want to hear endless speeches anymore where we are told: ―We are not leaving any stone unturned.‖ Leave those stones the way they are and deal with the issue of corruption."
