    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This issue of terror alerts is a very important matter. Terror alerts have been coming and sometimes in a very unorthodox manner. As mentioned, as we hear about it from social media, and there is nothing that is not coupled with terror alert coming from the country to alert Kenyans. Therefore, the concern of the Member raised is that having been raised by the American Embassy, what are we doing about it? Madam Temporary Speaker, we usually take things very lightly in Kenya. This is because the information is not forthcoming to citizens from the Government, and that is why people are a bit confused. The danger is that we are going to take these things lightly, because it is a usual thing. We are going to talk of a terror alert today, then you are caught unaware. Yesterday, I saw a notice by the police that there was nothing happening in Mandera, whereas there was a crisis in Mandera when the border war was going on. People were terrorised and they were in danger the whole of yesterday, yet the Police said there was nothing going on in Mandera. This is the sort of information we give out to Kenyans. It is very serious and when dealing with the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, and the Committee must ask how they are dealing with terror issues and threats to Kenyans in a structured manner. The information is timely and must be dealt with. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
