    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me add my voice to the debate by giving my sincere condolences to all the bereaved families through the act of terrorism in Garissa. From where I stand, I am pained because in Runyenjes Constituency, we lost Caroline Karimi, a daughter of my CDF Chairman. In terms of response to acts of terrorism, Caroline Karimi may not have died had help come early. The postmortem report showed a shot on her arm and one leg. Had help come early, she probably would be alive and kicking today. On Friday and Sunday as mourners went to that house, I witnessed a lot of anger in my constituents. I believe the same applies to other parts of this country. People are wondering why it took seven hours for the Recce Squad to get to Garissa to give help. We must ask difficult questions and we want those who are responsible to give us answers. We want answers. I hope the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, led by hon. Asman Kamama, will take serious note of the pain that Kenyans have and get to the bottom of this matter. It cannot end with an Adjournment Motion. It must go beyond an Adjournment Motion. They are used to us coming here, make noise and cry in an Adjournment Motion and then, when we go, another act of terrorism is perpetrated. Hon. Kamama and the Committee on Administration and National Security must take action. The Committee must do its work."
