    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with respect to my friend, Eng. Toro, I think that was a bid to waste my time so that I do not articulate those issues that are pertinent. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we know that, not too long ago at a public forum, His Excellency the President declared, when he knows very well that this cannot be done out of a Presidential pronouncement or directive at a public meeting, that this country will henceforth ensure that 30 per cent of all positions in employment in the public service will be given to women. He also said that Maendeleo ya Wanawake must be given a place in the running of the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). That cannot happen! We must follow due process by bringing legislation to Parliament to amend it. It is, therefore, necessary that appropriate caution is exercised to ensure that we move away from a path which is not particulary interesting. There are two areas, which, in my view, have been treated very casually. The first one pertains to security. The most that the President gave to this matter was a passing sentence in a paragraph and yet Kenyans continue to die everyday. They are killed by persons who are not apprehended and those deaths are not explained. Finally, intelligence is coming through that matters are going to be compounded by the removal of Maj.Gen. Ali as the Commissioner of Police because he has been impartial in the exercise of his duties."
