"content": "No good reason is being given as to why the period for the Kenyan people to consider the merits and demerits of the intended Bill is to be reduced from 14 to seven days. Without anticipating debate, I do not see how the issue of giving additional powers to the Inspector-General and taking powers from the National Police Service becomes an emergency that necessitates our reducing the period for proper consideration. In any event, without contemplating debate, if you look at our Order No.11, we have the Freedom of the Media Bill, which is a very critical Bill. We are seeking to extend the period for its publication by four months. A trend is developing in the country that is already beginning to worry the country that when it comes to consolidating power in particular regions and removing from some, it becomes an emergency. Those Bills are merely to take power from Mr. Kavuludi to Mr. Kimaiyo. I wonder what the Government side would be doing and whether this hurry would exist,"
