    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you are right because I had this Bill and I did a lot of work on it, but I left my literature. I did not know this would come today. It is my fault, but from what I said, that is what this section is all about. The parent Act says that where Defence Forces are deployed for any purposes contemplated in sub- sections 1(b) and (c), I remember reading, it is deploying on emergency issues like the one that hon. Duale was referring to in Lamu and the other one is deploying them to maintain peace in the country. That the Cabinet Secretary shall inform the National Assembly promptly and in appropriate detail of first, the reasons for deployment, place where the Defence Forces are being deployed and the number of persons involved. This was a requirement that when you do that, the Cabinet Secretary needs to inform the National Assembly. Now, the moment you remove that, because this Bill is seeking to remove that requirement, it means that if you deploy, you do not need to inform the National Assembly and these details will not be necessary. Is that what this House wants to do? Thank you for taking me there. I just mentioned it but I did not quote directly from the Bill. I do not know whether I have addressed your concerns."
