    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, there has been an alert which has been given by the American Embassy. By all means, from the position where I was before, I am sure that the Government is using all manner of ways to get to the bottom of this issue, because nobody wants to be caught off-guard. I believe that this is a situation that we should be calm about; we should be careful not to glorify terrorism. This is because when you glorify terrorism, it becomes bolder and they are able to carry out targets away from the targets that have been pointed out. We should help the Government, if you have any information, so that they can deal with this situation in a wholesome manner. Secondly, Madam Temporary Speaker, one of the things that I have noticed over a period of time is that Kenyans are their own enemies. This is because we have the information, but we do not pass on that information. Therefore, when a catastrophe occurs, we start blame games on one another. We should go beyond this blame game and be able to come together. Having said that, I will urge that the Committee that is in charge of defence that not all matters are going to be disclosed to the Committee, but only the essential ones that are important for the consumption of the public and everybody else. However, it is important to know other deliberate actions that are being taken to safeguard Kenyans from this situation. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
