    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to give notice of the following Motions:- INTRODUCTION OF EQUITABLE SAFETY-NET BILL THAT, gravely concerned that a combination of unemployment, inflation and the high cost of living is confining more Kenyans to existence below the poverty line and virtual destitution; noting that Kenya continues to be characterised by gross individual, regional and class inequalities with the poor becoming poorer; aware that the youth and vulnerable citizens, especially widows and orphans, bear the brunt of this unacceptable state of affairs; this House grants leave to introduce a Bill for an Act of Parliament to be titled the Equitable Safety Net Act to provide frameworks for innovative State-driven employment opportunities for the youth, basic social support to the vulnerable, competitive basic salary structures for low cadre workers and affirmative development measures to redress imbalances caused by historical marginalisation. 3120 INTRODUCTION OF PRIVATE SECURITY PROVIDERS BILL THAT, noting that there has been proliferation of private security firms in recent times; aware that though these firms are playing a crucial role in supplementing State efforts in the provision of security services, this fast-growing sector continues to operate without a legal framework; concerned that the absence of a legal and regulatory framework is a recipe for disorder, including poor terms and conditions of service for thousands of young Kenyans employed in this sector; this House grants leave to introduce a Bill for an Act of Parliament to be titled the Private Security Providers Act to provide a clear framework for the operations of private security firms, including regulations to govern their registration and employment policies."
