    "content": "Three, this House enacts laws to protect strategic and security installations. The Committee, having toured the affected areas, particularly the areas adjacent to the Moi Air Base in Eastleigh, and convinced that the security of the installation had been highly compromised and, may I say, if nothing is done in terms of this recommendation, were there to be – God forbid – an accident around Kiambiu, we would see a disaster of apocalyptic proportions that would make Sinai look like a footnote. We, therefore, wish to recommend, as matter of urgency, that a law be enacted to protect all strategic and security installations, which should not only be limited to airports and military installations, but also extend to way leaves and key infrastructure such as pipelines, and this be done within 90 days of the date of adoption of this report. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need also to review the Contempt of Court Act. The Committee established that court orders existed over some parcels of land where houses were demolished and the Government agencies that took part in the demolitions ignored or rubbished the court orders. Some private citizens in the area proceeded with development even while aware that injunctions requiring status quo needed to be maintained. This Committee, therefore, recommends that the Attorney- General, in consultation with the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary, undertake a review of the law governing contempt of court with a view to filling the gaps that have led to frequent disobedience of court orders, including proposing stiffer penalties to act as a deterrent within 90 days; that is the period we are setting for this law to be enacted from the date of the adoption of this report."
