    "content": "I also realize that we have not captured the level of education. Time and again, we have got ourselves in problems. Let us not forget the case of the former Deputy Chief Justice, Madam Baraza, who had an issue with a guard somewhere. Some of those guards are Standard III drop- outs or even below. Considering the free primary education today in our country, possibly, we can make it mandatory for one to attain the level of Form IV certification. We need to consider the level of education such that if those people are very well trained, they can understand the work that they are given and obey regulations. As I finalize, I wish to say that remuneration and equipment are key. Those guards work at night even without the right jackets. Sometimes, they are rained on. If we leave this Bill open, it will be at the mercy of the employer to consider equipping those guards with the necessary equipment. We should not leave the issue of equipment open. We need to capture very clearly what kind of equipment and clothing should be provided. That way, we shall have the security guards working in the right environment. I also find one year to be too little to renew the license. I would suggest that we consider, at least, two years. Having said that, I want to conclude by saying that 25 per cent of local shareholding is too exposing to our country. I would suggest, possibly, 40 per cent. Thank you very much."
