    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. If you indulge me, I will add something about security. Before that, under Standing Order 85(2), I beg that you guide Members that it shall be out of order to anticipate the debate of a Motion of which notice has been given by discussion upon a substantive Motion or amendment. I say this because we are in an open and transparent society, and many of us will be invited to media stations to discuss this impeachment Motion whose notice has been given today. Just to caution Members, it will be completely out of order to discuss the substance of the Motion on media stations before debate, as is contained in our Standing Orders. So, when we are invited to media stations, we should be guided in what we discuss so that we do not go into the substance of the Motion until we are done with the debate. After the debate, we are all at liberty to discuss it. That includes both those who have appended their signatures, like myself, and the 58 Members who have not appended their signatures. To add to what the Hon. Farah and Hon. Junet have said, the security of Members of Parliament is paramount. I say that looking at you, Hon. Speaker, because you know on 25th June this year, none other than yourself was a target. And not a target for harm but for elimination based on the position you hold as the Speaker and the ranking order, should anything happen to the President or the Deputy President. I beg that you take with a little more weight the issue raised by Hon. Junet and Hon. Farah Maalim. We have seen on social media and have been told by certain quarters that before March 2025, bendera itapepea nusu mlingoti . These are weighty issues. I hear what Hon. Farah Maalim is saying on the security of the President, and we have no business to advise the Inspector-General and the Director of the National Intelligence Service on what to do. But for Members of this House, all the 349 of them, you must direct the Inspector-General of Police, who was approved by this House less than a month ago, to ensure that when Members of this House are sitting within the precincts of Parliament or outside, including committees and in their homes, they are secured. I say this because of the information The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
