    "content": "When you go to Canada, Ottawa, to get to Parliament you are not allowed to drive there. You are taken there in a specialized vehicle. The search starts from very far. That is the practice everywhere. When there was a problem in New Delhi with the Pakistanis, security was taken seriously. In our country, even after several experiences in North Eastern region, we do not seem to learn. Recently, in Kapedo, 40 police officers were killed and it was very hard to get to that place. We are wondering what happened to our sharp shooters. Where are our helicopters? We read that the helicopter that was to fly to Garissa on the fateful day had taken somebody to Mombasa and on its way back, it was impossible to take the Recce Squad from Ruiru to Garissa. It had to take a whole day. Why were those terrorists in the university from 5:30 a.m. up to 5:00 p.m. holding students at ransom? This is something that we need to question. Is there something serious? Are our soldiers serious with what they are supposed to be trained on? Do we train serious people to also defend us? Are we safe when we are here or walking about? How many other times are we in such similar circumstances that can generate a lapse in security and we find ourselves dead? This is something that should teach us a lesson.

They changed to a point where even for a foreigner to get to some of the public offices is impossible. Here, we have not learned any lesson even after we have had such cases. It is up to us to learn lessons from the past, although bitter, and ask ourselves what next. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have had schools closing. Garissa University closed ---"
