    "content": "On a point of order. This matter that has been raised by hon. Nassir is indeed, wider than just the security. I hear he has requested that an ad hoc committee be formed to look at it. But, I think if you look at the Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity, if it works together with the Committee on Administration and National Security or an ad hoc committee; this is actually how we should look at it. There are issues of profiling a lot of young people in this country. They are either being profiled as terrorists or Mungiki and it is unfairly so. Hon. Speaker, part of the mandate of the Committee on National Cohesion, which I chair - I am sure many hon. Members may not know that - if there are any cases that certain sections of the society are discriminated against by virtue of age, gender, religion, tribe or health status, it look into the issues. I think this is a matter we want to take up very seriously. This is also a Committee that has, not only hon. Members of the National Assembly butalso Senators as well. I have personally met the National Muslim Youth Leaders both under NMLF and SUPKEM on this issue. I am not officially informed, but I think this is something we would like to take up as well, together with the Committee on Administration and National Security or as an ad hoc committee. Kindly, we seek your direction on that."
