    "content": " Some hon. Members are calling for an early general election and they have just been told that 114 of us will not come back to this House. Let us wait for the people to decide who will come back and who will not. I know I have digressed and I apologise for that, but let us handle this matter very carefully. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Billow has opposed the setting up of the forensic science laboratory. If we want to deal with crime and investigate it, unless we have a forensic system we will never get to the bottom of the sophisticated crime in the world now. Every country is using a forensic system in investigating criminals because criminals are always one step ahead. There is no country which does not have a forensic system. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in Kenya, we delayed the setting up of this system because there were questions raised about tenders. Questions about tenders are different from having the forensic system. Let us have the system, but this should be done in a most open manner. The system must be in place if we want to deal with modern crime. That is a reality that we cannot escape. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not want to say much, but let us understand that there is no angel running any Government. Since Independence, there has never been a Government of angels. The last Government of my colleagues, on the other side, with whom I was with, know we were not angels. They know what we did!"
