    "content": "Hon. Members, you will recall that we held a kamkunji on 28th June, 2012 to review among other issues securities matters and conduct of Members of Parliament, staff and members of the public in the precincts of Parliament. I am happy to report that there has been co-operation with regard to inspection of cars entering parliamentary premises and screening of Members and all other persons accessing Parliament. There is need, however, to have proper control of admission of visitors to any part of Parliament Buildings and gardens and for which I ask all hon. Members to lend the necessary support. I urge all Members of Parliament to observe Speaker’s Rules regulating to admission and conduct of strangers made under powers conferred by the National Assembly Powers and Privileges Act. In addition, I wish to reiterate the following salient rules in order to improve security in the precincts of Parliament:- 1. All persons accessing Parliament buildings, including all visitors of Members of Parliament, will continue to be subjected to security screening. Members of the public or visitors once authorized to enter the buildings must wear visitors’ badges all the time. The badges must be surrendered when the holders leave the precincts of Parliament 2. All Members of Parliament will be allowed a maximum of two visitors at a time and for whom they will be responsible over their conduct and movement in the buildings. 3. All vehicles entering Parliament buildings and all occupants in them have to be subjected to security screening. 4. All staff of the Kenya National Assembly and other authorized persons must wear identification badges within the buildings all the time. Pursuant to rule 24 of the Speaker’s Rules, the Serjeant-At-Arms or his assistants are authorized and required to expel from the buildings, gardens and Members’ Car Park any person infringing on the rules and no such expulsion shall be questioned, except by way of reference to the Speaker after compliance therewith. The Serjeant-At-Arms is, therefore, under strict instructions to enforce all the rules without fear or favour and liaise with police in re-enforcing security within and outside Parliament buildings. I thank you. Next Order! Order, Member for Isiolo South! We have moved from Order No.6, but that notwithstanding, your Question is reasonably deferred to two weeks from today so that the Deputy Leader of Government Business sorts out who is going to deal with that matter."
