    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have noted the proposal to increase the insurance for police officers. Let me also say that it is not going to be long before the police on operations are supplied with bullet proof vests. This is coming very soon. We have also acquired equipment to detect guns from a distance. If you are carrying a gun, we shall be able to know. Those gadgets are at various places known to the police - the routes which are used. That is why, as part of police operations, road-blocks must be supported. I am glad that this House does understand that. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me also put in a word. Mr. Bahari introduced a new dimension to this debate where he tried to imply that this Government acts in a manner that is discriminatory to those who belong to the Islamic faith. It is very disappointing for a person as educated, not to understand what is going on in Kenya. That is because in Kenya, as we all know, this Government does not discriminate against anyone, either in the allocation of resources, the application of the law or any other manner of treatment. By continuing to imply that, that is not so is really being highly dishonest. We do not have laws that work against Islam. If we were not to July 12, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2503 apply the law equally, what would I be doing chasing Mungiki from my own tribe?"
