    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also wish to make my contribution on these reports submitted by the President of the Republic of Kenya. In these reports, there are areas which the President has elaborated on matters which touch on national security. We understand that immediately the Jubilee Government took over the presidency, this country faced a lot of challenges, especially on matters of security. We all agree that the nation was at crossroads particularly on matters of terrorism. We understand that the President made efforts to curb terrorism. Although today, the rate of attacks has gone down, we must agree and accept that terrorism is still a very serious threat to our nation. The Al Shabaab are still roaming the streets of this nation. A week ago or thereabout, a young man surrendered to the Police for having trained, stayed and worked for the Al Shabaab for five years. He was an innocent young man who was engaging in his own business and was lured and taken to some place in Eastleigh. When that young man gave us his narrative, it was very absurd to understand that there is a training camp in Eastleigh of the Al Shabaab that is ongoing. Those are the people who have been attacking our military camps in Somalia and our people at the borders. We want to challenge the President to take serious measures in ensuring that the information that leads to where those terrorists are trained is collected and actions are taken against them. The other big issue in our country is radicalisation - the luring, recruiting, training and dispatch of those individuals. Many families, especially those ones along the Coast, have reported to have lost most of their young men and women who are in school and universities.
