    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I agree with the Chair that during discussions, we allowed this amendment, but how practical is it? For example, if it is necessary to restore peace during a time when Parliament is not sitting, and we are talking about in the country not outside. We agreed that before the forces are deployed outside, parliamentary approval will be a must. But here we are talking of a situation similar to that of 2008, when things became very bad in Nakuru and the Commander-in-Chief ordered the Defence Forces to go and restore order when police had failed. If he had to call Parliament, and we had not even been sworn in, the situation would have gone out of hand. Therefore, I want to plead with the Chairman that we do away with this amendment, because doing this would be in the interests of our Republic. I beg to oppose despite the fact that we agreed in view of, especially, what Mr. Kenneth has said."
