    "content": " Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support. Everything that has been said has already been said. I just want to state that I am very passionate about this matter because I am personally a victim of terrorism. I have an uncle who died in the 1998 bomb last. I have my colleague and my friend Peter Simani who died at the West Gate Terror attach. Therefore, this matter is very close to my heart. I feel extreme pain when I think that Kenya and Somalia today are lumped in one basket. We have a funny maritime decision that took place somewhere else but, as Kenyans, we have said: “Not an inch more and not an inch less.” Is it deliberate? This is because I want to state and I will read it out. The definition of what is 'state capture.' It is a system where you use political corruption in which private interest significantly influences a state's decision-making process. What is happening for those who will oppose a Bill like this and oppose treaties that we have signed are actually working to state capture? Is it a coincidence that it is only Somalia and Kenya who are in this situation and that our country and as the Leader of the Majority Party has very succinctly stated we will not be able to do any business past a particular date. As was stated to us in Mombasa, if we do not pass this Bill, the blood will be on our hands. The blood of Kenyans who have died and those who might die in future terrorist attacks will be on our hands. With those few remarks, I support."
