    "content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, I also want to join my colleagues in expressing solidarity with the distinguished Senator for Lamu County. The experience that he underwent was unfortunate and tragic, and we wish him quick recovery. I also wish to associate myself with what the Senators have said about the security of the Members of Parliament. This is not just about our security out there, but also about our security within Parliament buildings. Previously, only key members of parliamentary staff would be allowed within the Chambers. Anybody else found within those areas would be reprimanded. This matter should not be treated casually. During the days of the nationalist party, the Prime Minister of South Africa was knifed to death in the Chambers when Parliament sessions were ongoing. Members of Parliament attract violence outside and inside Parliament. The provision for security for Members of Parliament became a national necessity because of the attack and death of many Members. I hope that what has happened to Sen. Loitiptip will serve as a wakeup call. People should not take the call for security by Members of Parliament an idle affair. Members of Parliament are more vulnerable than the people in the Executive, who have a lot of security around them. Those people are safe and there is nothing that can happen to them. I hope that the police will show the same kind of concern that they display when a Member of Parliament is accused of something. They are always quick to drag Members The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
