    "content": "That is a notorious name. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that with this programme and, maybe, alongside other proposed reforms that the Attorney-General has come up with, it is quite possible that even some of the small scandals we have been hearing about--- Sometimes we hear that Ministers are being carjacked at night; it is possible that there are people who have information about why they are being carjacked! It is quite possible. That information would not necessarily be about where they are being carjacked, but also why they are being carjacked. It is quite possible that with this law, we will get to know much more about ourselves and other Kenyans too. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Bill and I would like to request the Attorney- General to consider my proposals about giving specifics about the kind of offences. Indeed, offences like drug trafficking, like a colleague said yesterday, it is quite probable that even as much as we have concluded the trial in the case of the Kshs6.4 billion cocaine haul, there maybe several others. I believe that there are other people, the real lords, who were involved in bringing that haul into this country and, indeed, several others that have been seen in the country. But the people who may have information or knowledge regarding such activities on account of their connections and/or relationships, would be unwilling or too scared to come up to give the information to the police or even to the Attorney-General. It is also quite possible that as we see people throwing themselves from floors of various buildings here, maybe they are actually committing suicide because they fear for their lives! It may very well be that they have such damning information or evidence against some other people who are highly placed that they think that the only way to save themselves or to survive is by taking away their lives. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Bill and with those few remarks, I end my contribution. Thank you."
