    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Bill. Let me thank the Minister for moving the Bill well. I will be brief. We understand our predicament and that we can be blacklisted in the international markets for financial transactions, but as a country, or a Government, we could avoid this. Why we are between a rock and a hard place as a country is because we are facing terrorist activities. We have been arresting suspected terrorists, but we have always released them because there is no proper procedure. Our greatest fear is that we do not want a law that shall victimize Kenyans. We want to have a law and be a lawful society, issues of victimization, that you look like a terrorist and, therefore, you are a terrorist--- We are saying that we hope our security forces will not use the created law to victimize sections of our society. These are real fears. I am happy that the Minister has alluded to several sections which were offensive but have been deleted, so that we can have a consensus document. I still want to urge that if there is anything we can do to improve but continue to live peacefully with one another, I would want us to look at it even as we move forward with this Bill. With those few remarks, I beg to second."
