    "content": "would never have occurred. There have been so many terrorist attacks in several countries with very elaborate security systems but the terrorists, sometimes, manage to penetrate. Therefore, I would urge our hon. Members not to discourage our security forces but to encourage them to continue to do the good work that they are doing. Hon. Ochieng Daima wanted to know about the Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) project. I can only confirm to the hon. Member that the project of installing CCTV cameras within the City of Nairobi is ongoing. Hon. Chachu Ganya was concerned about the cost of that operation. That operation costs a lot of money. We had no choice but to launch that operation because our own national security was seriously threatened. It did cost us quite a lot of money. Since that time, our forces have joined African Mission In Somalia (AMISOM) process. Therefore, the cost of the operation is now being borne by the United Nations (UN). The question has been: From what time does the UN take over the responsibility of funding? We have been talking of January whereas they have been talking of August. So, this is a matter of discussion. We are still deliberating but, right now, all the expenses are being shouldered by UN. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Mungatana wondered about the drop in influx of forex – the illicit money from Kshs172 billion to Kshs6.64 billion. Most of the money that was coming illegally into the country was being smuggled. There was suspicions that it was coming from the piracy on the high seas. The pirate’s money is money that has been basically extorted or robbed from other people and, therefore, it is not clean money. I do not think that our economy should depend or rely on illicit money that is being brought in here to be hidden; money that has been obtained through criminal activities. So, we, as a country that respects transparency and a country that is fighting against international terrorism, we must guard against the influx of those kinds of funds in our country. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
