    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I sincerely thank Senators for their contributions. I know it has been a long day since morning. However, they have soldiered on to make sure that they make their contributions. Madam Temporary Speaker, I appreciate the amendment because it is just giving the Motion more substance. All what we are saying is that it has reached a time when Kenyans should not helplessly be killed in their homes without any means of defending their families, properties, neighbourhoods and the nation. In Ngong, there is an area called Olepolos or Zambia. Of late some armed criminals make sure that they intimidate people when they are going home. At night, they rampage through the homes in that area. I was imagining if a few families in that area were armed, I do believe these people will stop their activities. Sen. Wamatangi reminded us of a particular incident in Kiambu County. There are quite a number of families who have gone through such distress. Criminals just walk into homes, find families having dinner and rape the daughters and their mother while the father looks helplessly. With the passage of this Motion, the days of the criminals are numbered. I hope the Inspector General will now have reason to make sure that some Kenyans are licensed to own firearms in order to protect their families and the country. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to move."
