    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. As stated by the earlier speaker, this Bill is, indeed, overdue. Security, indeed, is a responsibility for all. The cardinal rule in security is to start with avoidance, destruction and then distance is your friend. In creating that distance, we need to have situational analysis which should be the prerogative of all citizens in Kenya. In having those security firms and individuals registered, it is important to have an elaborate training programme and sharing of data with all the individual security organs. This will enhance the atmosphere for investments, our national competitiveness and job creation within that vast sector. As we have seen, they limit security to only what is visible by having guards with rungus. This goes much further in the area of forensics and CIT security, which becomes pretty prevalent as we grow our economy. All these things can become a reality. As we are rolling out CCTVs all over, it is important for people to adopt that technology. But within a space of limited budgeting, there could be providers who can offer those services by taking cognisance of counties and doing the wiring that feeds to a security centre. The Bill recognises those gaps or interventions that can come through. I really welcome the possibility of information-sharing. That will ensure that every inch of our society is covered. As we move forward, we should look at the gallant officers who have served Kenya in different capacities, be it Kenya Wildlife Service, Kenya Prisons, Kenya Armed Forces and Kenya Police. We are now opening a page where every security firm will be employing them as part of the requirement. That gives them a future."
