    "content": "Thank you. Let me take this opportunity to thank the substantive Speaker, you hon. Deputy Speaker and my colleagues in this House. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. I want to wish my Constituents of Igembe Central a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. I also want to thank hon. Members for the deliberations we have done this year albeit, that we have had challenges in this country, especially in terms of security, where we have lost so many country men and ladies because of banditry and other issues. I believe that the Bill we have passed today will address those issues. At the same time, I will request that when we are finalizing this Bill; when it comes for the next reading, as hon. Members of this House, let us put our heads together and make corrections where necessary because there is nothing which is perfect. I believe even this Constitution we have today is also not very perfect. There are those who have the school of thought that it is 20 per cent wrong. I believe even the Bill which has passed for Second Reading today also is not perfect. Let us not use the tyranny of numbers to pass it just like that. Let us make it as good and polish it, so that it can be used to effectively control the runaway security issues in this country. It should also give the offices which are supposed to keep an eye on the security the maximum powers which can make this country a better place to live. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker."
