    "content": "I withdraw hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is not exactly a waste of time but the matters that are facing this country are so grave so that we should not be discussing some of the crimes that are happening and the police are there. What is happening to the road carnage that has decimated most of our citizens? So, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what I want to say in conclusion is that this Committee has done a good job but let it know that we can see the import of some of the stakeholders that they invited to come and discuss with them. I am looking at the contribution by the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) and one of the things we are saying here, they said it at the Committee level and yet we do not now see it in the Report. So, it means that even some of the stakeholders that appeared before you just came to express their frustrations before the Committee but as soon as they left, you also did your own bit. So, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker let us discuss this Bill holistically. Let us know what we are doing. It is for the interest of this country. Let us know that in the past we had a former Police Commissioner charged at The Hague and thank God that he was acquitted. He was charged at The Hague and yet we are rolling back the gains that we have made. So, I want to urge Members that if the Bills must pass then we must look at them. We must scrutinise them. We must pass only what is good for this country and reject those other amendments that appear to be rolling us back in time. Thank you."
