    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. On my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Ol-Jororok, I wish to express my deep sympathies to the bereaved families. This country must now unite more than ever before. It just goes to show that the ball is now back to the court of the National Security Council, the men and women responsible for our security. This is the time that we must debate and ask for a National Security Policy. We are very vulnerable and, sometimes, I think the Al Shabaab looks at us and decides to leave us alone. It is not by the might of our security organs that we sometimes enjoy relative peace; it is because of God‘s grace. But then again, we cannot just rely on God‘s grace. We must make concerted efforts now more than ever before. For the country to unite, Christians and Muslims must know that there is a concerted resolve by the Al Shabaab to try and divide us along religious lines. So, we must all start together and decide never ever to be divided along those lines. We must also sympathize with our National Security Council because being the supervisors of our security organs, I believe they are doing everything that they can to make sure that the country is safe. It is a setback whenever Al Shabaab hits at us. So, let us also support them. Let us try to see that our security organs and agencies are well funded. Let us not pass blame. This is not the time to pass the buck. Kenya is at war with AlShabaab . It is not going to stop. Al Shabaab has not said that this is their last hit. Indeed, they are on a journey to hit us where it hurts. It will not stop. Unless we come together and do something very drastic as a united country, this thing is going to ―eat‖ us. So, I urge that the country remains united. However, let us have a policy on national security as a way forward. With those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion for Adjournment."
