    "content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, I join my colleague, Sen. (Rev.) Waqo, in sending my condolences to the families of the slain ladies. I do not want to join those who would like to confuse the seriousness of the crimes that were committed against Sharon and others with the questions of morality. As a Christian, I have my stand on what needs to be done. The sanctity of life cannot be justified by the morality of the girls involved and neither can we justify using the relationship they have had with other people. That must be separated. Everybody has a chance and opportunity to put their life right with God in a manner in which they know but they must have that opportunity to continue living to work towards that direction. That confusion must not be there so that there is no justification at all. Dressing by women has been used as a justification for rape. Morality is now being used as justification for murder and eliminating lives of young girls. I have seen the debate around the country and justification that they were found with older people or there was something to do with “sponsorship” or whatever they call it. I do not think there is any justification we can give. The last thing I want to say is that there is something that is worrying me, not just because of those girls but for everybody in this country. There seems to be some hit men who are on the loose and they are ready to be hired at the slightest amount of money that politicians who murder people have. I think Sen. Khaniri, during the previous Parliament, came with a Statement about the existence of goons in the name of security officers in the counties and I do not know how far he has gone with that report. We would like to revisit it to ensure that our counties do not have goons because what came out is that there were departments within county governments managed by hit men, under the cover and protection of security officers. 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."
