"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, once again for giving me the chance to reply to this Motion. Allow me to start by thanking the hon. Members who have found time to contribute to this Motion. I want to thank Mr. Letimalo, Mr. Mungatana, Mr. Njuguna, Mr. Ndiritu Muriithi and Mr. Mututho who has just spoken. As we adopt this report, as Mr. Mungatana said, what we have presented here looks like a harmless report, but I want to say that anyone thinking that this is a harmless report should, indeed, perish the thought, especially when we consider that Parliament is a key pillar of statehood in Kenya. Therefore, the entire question of security around Parliament, particularly in the chamber should be comprehensively reviewed. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you may want to know that in some parliaments of the world the issue of security is taken so seriously that even among the Members themselves, no one is exempted from being a suspect. For example, you cannot carry an electronic item into the debating Chamber. It is not even permissible to carry your mobile phones into the Chamber."
