    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me time to support this Bill. I want to say at the outset that this Bill is timely, especially when it comes to issues of detective equipment. We not only need to compensate the people who have suffered from land mine bombs or object, but we also need to introduce a mechanism of detecting any bombs and landmines and have them neutralised, so that they do not cause death to the citizens of this country. We do not follow-up on the training of our military forces and international military groups, who leave the training grounds without clearing them from explosives. As a matter of policy, we need to follow up with training teams to make sure that the training fields that they use are cleared of any bombs before they leave. Still on security, we need to find ways of improving our homeland security. We need to introduce the use of detective equipment on our boundaries and in urban areas. Sometime we make our security personnel to face a lot of challenges, especially when they just stop a vehicle on the road without anyone detecting what is in it. We see many of them wasting time and even creating traffic jams at entrances to hotels and other facilities. Our security personnel cannot detect what is in the vehicle – be it a bomb or any other dangerous object. Therefore, we need to invest so much on detective equipment and on our security generally. We also have to look into how we can introduce policies in terms of areas that have been used as military training grounds, so that we can easily see whether they have been cleared. In terms of compensation, we also need to look into ways of compensating casualties of terrorism and other insecurity related issues. People have lost their lives in this country, while others are suffering because they have lost their relatives. We need to look into ways of compensating them. Thank you."
