    "content": "laws like the one before us; we should not just tell them to fight terrorism and we do not empower them to do so. I think this law will go a long way in providing the necessary tools in order that this grave matter may be addressed. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said this, I want to commend the Minister and those groups which have been consulting. It is important that a law of this nature, before it is passed adequate consultations must be undertaken, so that we bring on board all communities of Kenya; this is so important. We must ensure that all people are comfortable with all the provisions of the Bill. I, therefore, welcome the consultations that have been going on, and I will be welcoming the proposed amendments at the Committee Stage. That way, we will ensure that everybody is at ease with himself, and no sections of this country should feel they are suppressed by any part of the law. The law which we are passing must ensure that it is enacted in accordance with the provision of our Constitution. For example, the charging of suspects must be done within 24 hours as is spelt in the Constitution. The interception of communication must, again, be done in consultation and all aspects of implementing this Bill, when it becomes an Act of Parliament, must strictly be in accordance with the Constitution of Kenya, which we all passed. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, these are very important provisions; I want to ask Members of Parliament to come together over this matter, so that we ensure that this law is passed. We should ensure that at the Committee Stage we address all issues that have been alluded to by some sections of the Kenyan society. I beg to support."
