    "content": "time. There is this Bill on teachers which we were talking about, but it will come next time. As we break for the holidays, it is very important for all leaders to take the interest of this country first, especially on the issue of security, which has been stated. However, this cannot happen when some leaders say in public that they are serious, but when you check the actions and activities taking place, they clearly show that the country is not safe. Today, you are safer travelling to Uganda or Tanzania without a passport. But you are not safe going to Wajir or Mandera. One cannot say that somebody is profiling some people when clearly--- I come from Kisii County where so many students were killed. When you check the list of the students who were killed, there was no Muslim. The question one would ask is: If there was no Muslim who was killed, did they know about this? It is really a big issue. If they knew then, the country is divided along religious lines, whether we like it or not. Let the Head of State be serious. It is embarrassing for us to read in the newspapers that the President could come back midway in the air because there was insecurity. This is embarrassing and yet nothing has happened so far. No action has been taken against any officer among those who were in charge. The officers are in office even after the Head of State has come back. If we are not serious on those things and no action is taken when such a serious breach of security happens, how can we move together as a country? However, I am happy that the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) Board has released money. I am going to spend my time in my constituency, issue cheques for development and for secondary schools and inspect road projects. We are doing that so that when we come back here, we will start with the other Bills which we have not passed. Today was a big day. We finally agreed to pass a pension for the former Prime Minister, the Deputy President who is in office and former Speaker. For the first time, I saw unity in this National Assembly where we are now working as one. With those few remarks, I support the Adjournment Motion. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
