    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, as we recess, we would also want to see the Government rising to the occasion and tame the tide of reckless killings that are going on in our institutions. We are losing a lot of young people, and we have mentioned it here today. All of us are parents who have or will have children in these institutions. It is very dangerous if the safety of our children is not guaranteed. If a Cabinet Secretary moves around with a platoon of 20 security officers, surely the Government can afford to set up a police post in every university; properly equipped so that it can protect our young people when such eventualities happen. How do we explain a situation where a person wielding an axe goes and cuts a student into pieces, as if he is dissecting an animal for human consumption? This is unacceptable and the Government must deal with the matter firmly and decisively, and bring protection. This is because parents will now start wondering whether it is safe to take their children to university and allow them to stay there, yet, the responsibility of the Government is to provide security for all of us. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I second the Motion and wish colleagues, Senators, a good two week recess. More importantly, I wish them a resourceful and successful endeavour and retreat in Kisumu with our colleagues from the county assemblies. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
