    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute. First and foremost, let me send my condolences to the families and friends of the young Kenyans who lost their lives in Garissa. From my constituency, Igembe Central, I lost two young girls who were buried the other day. We lost Kawira Kaunyangi and Miriam Kaberia. I pass my condolences to their families and friends. I would like to echo the sentiments of one of my colleagues who talked earlier and said that we should not just debate this matter and let it end here. Let the arms of the Government which are supposed to handle this matter move fast and react to this issue the way Members of Parliament are doing. The response of our security forces was wanting and has been wanting all along. Usually they react after the damage has been done. For example, in the Garissa attack, we can recall that these murderous exercises started at 5 a.m. and ended at 1p.m. There is a story which was carried in the Daily Nation Newspaper in which it is said that a girl was calling the parents in Bungoma from 6.00 a.m. until 12.30 p.m. when she was shot dead. That entire time people were preparing to come and rescue the students."
