    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, right from the outset, let me thank you most sincerely for that very important communication that you have made and the promptness with which you have made it. That tells me that the issue of security was taken very seriously after I raised it in the House yesterday afternoon. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with you 100 per cent and I thank you. If we take that direction that you have given seriously, going forward, it will enhance the security of the Senate, the National Assembly and the whole of Parliament. I believe that the Serjeant- At-Arms will take it very seriously because you are the one who has given the ruling. It is going to be of great importance to us because you have mentioned all the buildings in which we are housed. I believe that there will not be any laxity. Like I said yesterday, and I think the Senate Minority Leader also alluded to it, some of the committee meetings are becoming extremely heated and anything could happen. We would all live to regret what would happen in the heat of the moment particularly in the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee of the Senate where governors and other people are interrogated. Therefore, I thank you sincerely. I join hands with my colleague, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, in mourning the unnecessary and wasteful deaths of six police officers at a police station in Kapenguria this morning. We do not know the full facts as of now. However, we know that six police officers lost their lives because of laxity in terms of security in that specific police station. 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"
