"content": "I will give you an example. When I was the Minister for Immigration and Registration of Persons, Nyayo House, which was much more guarded than all the other Government buildings, I used to go there with the flag of the Republic of Kenya on a Mercedes Benz which I retained and I was stopped with the flag and searched. I wondered what the use of that flag was because if a Minister of this Republic is likely to bomb Nyayo House, then who cannot. There are certain things that although you are protecting us, you suppose that we are gentlemen and ladies and that we cannot do certain things. That is why although people are searched everywhere, when we go to the big hotels, they see your face and they open for you. If the hotels can take cognizance of who we are, why can our own staff not take cognizance of that? As you review those rules, the first assumption should be that all Members of Parliament are honourable and we cannot destroy our country. If somebody else comes in my car, that is a different matter. But if I am inside the car then we presume that things are in order. That is how it should be done. In any event, I do not think that those mirrors they go with around our cars check anything. They are just messing us up. I support."
