    "content": "tell Kenyans that what they have done in Mogadishu, Somalia, is more than what they are doing in Kenya yet there is only one religion in Somalia. They are criminals. A criminal should be profiled as a criminal, not as belonging to a religion or a community. I would also like to use the Floor of this House to tell the world that whatever we are facing as a country; the attack by the Al Shabaab, is because we decided to protect the whole world. Initially, we did not have problems with the Al Shabaab and the pirates on the Somalia border. They were pirating cargo ships from France, Europe and America, but as a country that fears the Almighty God, we decided that we had to attack the Al Shabaab and smoke them out of their holes, so that we can protect the whole world, not necessarily to protect ourselves. In fact, if we may speak the whole truth, we were benefitting as a country from the activities of AlShabaab, because whenever they hijacked a cargo ship, they asked for a ransom and most of that ransom was invested in Kenya. But as a country that fears the Almighty God, we do not want blood money. That is why we went ahead and dealt with the Al Shabaab to protect the whole world. We deployed our own men and women to Somalia so that we could protect the whole world. It is high time the world stood with us because we are not protecting ourselves, but the whole world. The activities of the Al Shabaab are not only in Kenya, but are all over the world. It is pathetic at times when they issue travel advisories against Kenya while they know very well that we are protecting the whole world. I would also like the Government to reconsider the issue of VIP protection. Nowadays, we have more honourable Members than the citizens of this country. We have members of county assemblies (MCAs), County Executive Committees (CECs), Principal Secretaries (PSs), Cabinet Assistant Secretaries (CASs) and protecting them has taken a toll on our security agencies. If possible, we should deploy officers so that the whole country is secure. If the country becomes secure, VIPs, including Members of this House, may not need this protection. It is really pathetic that some Members of the NASA Coalition were complaining of the withdrawal of their security detail and when they come here, they bang tables and pretend to be very brave. For example, the other time the name of Hon. Mbadi was almost entered into the Guinness Book of Records after outrunning his own shadow. I think you saw the social media photo in which Hon. Mbadi was outrunning his own shadow. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
