    "content": "The reason for that is that, we have not been given ample time. The Committee has not been given adequate time to deliberate on this Bill. There is need to do some consultations with the Office of the Attorney-General, the National Security Intelligence Service and all the other stakeholders. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, therefore, I think there is need to refer this Bill to my Committee. Let me say this: The Bill is being rushed. It is very sensitive. If you go through this Bill, you will see that its contents and clauses are similar to those clauses that were contained in the Suppression of Anti-Terrorism Bill. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration, National Security and Local Authorities. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have laid a Report in this House this afternoon. If you go through that Report, you will see that what the Government has done is just to change the title of that Anti-Terrorism Bill. If you go through the clauses, you will see that the Government has only changed the numbering of clauses, just to confuse the Kenyan people. In the Report of the Committee, we have produced a chart for ease of reference by Members."
