    "content": "Let us look at the international good practices. In America, it is ingrained in the law. It is something that is provided for in the law. It is one of the so-called rights. In Uganda, our neighbouring country here, we have seen such kind of a scenario. That, maybe, explains why, despite Uganda being among the countries which invaded Somalia, they have never experienced an attack except just once. You can all recall the several attacks that Kenya has experienced - Mpeketoni, Garissa and Westgate. Allow me to draw your attention to the incident in Westgate here in Nairobi. It was captured on video. We saw a private guard being shot at. One would have imagined that if that guard had a gun, he would have offered some resistance. To me, I am convinced that it makes some sense. We should allow, through an amendment to this Bill, to give guards guns but, of course, we provide for some form of measures to ensure that they are not abused. We can even serialise those guns and the bullets to ensure that no one is trading in them. We can ensure that people who are going home are checked. There should be some form of rationalisation so that, that process is not abused."
