    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to seek your ruling or indulgence. We have been in this House for a long time. The issue of terrorism is very close to our hearts now as a country, especially now that our country has gone to Somalia to fight the Al Shabaab. I am asking if the Chair could consider allowing this debate, which I want to participate in and I know very many hon. Members want to participate in, to come to the Floor when this House has the hon. Members who will ensure that its passage is not contentious. We want to be very clear. I know the Minister or the Attorney-General will not be happy with me. There are Members of Parliament in this House who have even been accused in the media, and it is public knowledge; some hon. Members have spoken very passionately about this Bill from the opposite side. This is not the kind of discussion we want to finish with the kind of membership we have in the House if we want to be serious about terrorism, and if we want to have a clear debate. I am asking the Chair if we could adjourn debate on this Bill, so that we can debate it when we will be able to bring all the voices on board."
