"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is not the Kenya we are in. We have few places that the police should be right now. Along the Kerio Valley, we have problems. Cattle rustling has become a menace for about three months now. These giant machines that have blocked the roads to Parliament should be taken there and any other places like Kenya- Somalia border today. We need these machines there. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is neither good at the Senate nor elsewhere. We were elected by the people to represent them; the most honourable people are here. You can imagine that we shall start fighting like chicken in the market. We cannot! Lastly, the nation is watching us. The world is also staring at the machines that are outside Parliament Buildings. They are wondering what has happened to Kenya. If you read history, during the time of the late President Jomo Kenyatta-even during tough times- police were not brought right to the doorstep of the legislator’s route. During the 24 years when President Moi was in power, it never happened. The 10 years of President Kibaki, it never happened. Who is this other one that is giving out instructions to belittle the Head of State? 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"
