"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a very serious matter that some students in this country are not going to school because of attacks by criminals. What is the effect of that? Al Shabaab are considering themselves winners because they have managed to stop the entire education system in the former North Eastern Province, where my good friends come from. This means they have succeeded that far. If we do not arrest the situation now, these people will make sure that in another county there is no schooling. We must understand that this is not a matter of the northern part of Kenya alone, but the entire country is affected. These people can attack anybody because, in their records, they know they have won the war in Kenya. By not attacking Nairobi or Mombasa, it does not mean that we have achieved anything. The Chairperson of the Committee should understand the implications of this matter in terms of the students. If my child cannot go to school because there are thugs around my house, can I claim to be a free person or a prisoner of militia? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
