    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended in Clause 37 by inserting the following new sub-clause (2) A treaty or agreement entered into under Sub-section (1) shall put in place mechanisms to protect the interests of the local community of the place where the foreign military forces are deployed and such treaty shall also provide that the foreign forces are subject to the Constitution and all the laws of Kenya. Again, that addresses some of the issues that Mr. Letimalo had raised. You realize that over the last few years or decades, we have had instances where foreign forces--- Of course, we have mutual agreements and MoUs saying: “Just come to Kenya, go to any part in the Republic and without any due regard to the local communities, engage in a lot of illegalities.” So this amendment will address what has been happening in Samburu East, Ngong and other parts of the country. Therefore, this will clearly ensure that any foreign forces who come to Kenya will have to engage our Armed Forces in an organized manner that will be consistent with our laws; that will also take care of the interest of the host community. This, therefore, cures that amendment by Mr. Letimalo."
