    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is an election year. One of the problems that many of us, women, who are willing and ready to get elective positions, are worried about is the issue of security. There is a Bill on the Prevention of Organised Crime waiting for debate by this House. Unless the Government of the day wishes to use organised crime to fight those people who oppose them in the coming general election, it is the duty of this Government to bring that Bill so that we can deal with the issues of organised crime once and for all. Another business that this Government should do, if it is worth its name, is that instead of them using illegal measures of applying the proposed Anti-Terrorism Bill, why can they not bring the Bill to this House so that we, in the Opposition, can show them what Kenyans want so that they do not have to wait and deport Kenyans to Guantanamo Bay. They would, at least, have a law if they are a Government worth its salt. If this Government does not want to work, because I believe it does not only want to work, but it cannot work because one of its hands does not know the other part of its own anatomy. Yesterday was a true embarrassment. Women of Kenya were brought to this House to be made fun of because the President promised to give them 50 seats. The Front Bench was in the fore front by voting against its own Government. It is very clear that His Excellency the President might be having some good intentions for Kenyans but he is unable to control his Front Bench. Since they are tired, they should not bother adjourning the House. They should just dissolve this House so that we can send them home for good. With those few remarks, I wish to urge Members of this House to oppose this Motion of Adjournment, despite our respect for His Excellency the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs. Thank you."
