    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to fully support this crucial Bill, because supporting it is fighting terrorism in this country. Let me, again, thank the newly elected hon. Members, namely, hon. Agostino Neto of Ndhiwa, hon. Ngahu of Kangema and hon. Sakuda of Kajiado North and, more importantly, hail the appointment of hon. ole Metito to the crucial docket of the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I fully concur with my colleagues that we need to fully support this Bill because our memories are quite fresh about the Nairobi bomb blast, the Kikambala terrorist attack, the attempt by terrorists to down an Israeli passenger jetliner and, quite recently, the terrorist attack on the African Inland Church (AIC) and the Catholic Church in Garissa, where we lost about 15 worshipers. If not addressed properly, terrorism can destabilise this country and undermine our economy. Our economic growth has slowed down because of the recent kidnapping of a French lady in the Coast region. Shipping has also been affected in our Indian Ocean waters due to piracy threats. Therefore, this Bill is critical because it calls for stiffer penalties for those involved in terrorism."
