    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On the same issue, I was indeed the one who requested the Chair - the hon. Speaker then - to avail a copy of the amended memorandum to the House so that Members can acquaint themselves with whether we have a memorandum or something different. Although Mr. Githae says that he is “clarifying” an error, you cannot clarify an error. You can only correct an error. If we are to go with plain English, you can only clarify what is not clear as in expunge and add a few things. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason as to why I raised the matter; that the amended memorandum be circulated, was in respect of the President’s memorandum that was submitted on 27th February that indicates that there is no county equivalent of the National Security Committee. I had said that in the National Police Service Act which disappeared from the Government Printers and Parliament Library even after I had made a copy and only resurfaced after I went with a copy and showed it to them that, indeed, I have a copy---. Sometimes it behooves whether Acts of Parliament can be published then arbitrarily be withdrawn and then it is assumed that it was never published. If it was not for the copy that I had made, it seems we would not even be having the National Police Service Act in this country until the Government Printer decides otherwise. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the National Police Service Act in determining the members of the County Policing Authority says that one of the membership will be the Chairperson of the County Security Police, then it calls to question whether the County Security Committee is not the equivalent of the National Security Community hence an erroneous memorandum from the President. Would we accept such a memorandum in this House when it contravenes sections of Acts that we passed in this House? Thank you."
