    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my machine has been failing me many times. As we discuss this Motion, it is important that we reflect back and see where we have come from. We should reflect on our international territorial boundaries, on our neighbours and the efforts they are using to stamp out acts of terrorism. We should be in a position to bring back want we learn when we go out. Many times we go to Israel, Russia, Japan, Cuba and so many other countries to benchmark, but we forget what we learn there. Next time we go to Malaysia, we will say that we were equals in 1960s. We are not implementing what we see, what we read or our experiences. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let us agree that we have our forces here in Kenya. We have three or four Al Shabaab militia killing 170 people in a neighbourhood where 200 metres away there is an army barracks. The other day, they attacked an army barracks . By good luck, they were killed and that was the end of the story. Why are we having constant raids and such incursions in Kenya? We know that we have given a lot of money to the Office of the President which should go to internal security maintenance. We need to be told how many amphibians and paratroopers have been bought. There are vehicles which can be driven into lakes, dry areas and rocky places. We are not aware of what happens. What we see is amassing of arms for whatever reason. I have never heard of anything mobilized to the boarder. Our elite army sits, lies or sleeps in the barracks. When we have such cases, we would expect movement of our army elite soldiers and not police, crossing the border and manning it. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one time, there was a war between China and India. China stood up and said that they were to man their border using human body, man to man. The moment they march to the country of India, they will kill everything, including flies and cockroaches. That was the end of the war between India and China. China put up a wall during the Mao Tse Tung’s time between the Mongols when they were going to invade China. We saw that happening. We were to have the wall done, but how long will it take? By the time they enclose the perimeter wall, how many people would have penetrated the Kenyan territory? Let us think of our time, the past and the future. We are dealing with human beings who are thinking as much as we are thinking. Let us not be seen like we do not understand the times that we are living now. Let us agree that there is a way that we can handle terrorism. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
