    "content": "I compare the security industry with the matatu or transport industry where they have an association where they control and coordinate all activities of the industry. I know the Authority will serve that purpose once it is established. I do not support the fact that we need to equip them with firearms because firearms are very dangerous equipment which can really cause havoc in the community. We need to regulate that so that we know who we are entrusting the firearms with. Hon. Angwenyi compared the security guards that we are talking about to the militia groups like Mungiki, Chinkororo and others. Those militia groups are insecurity in themselves. We cannot encourage our communities to produce people like those. Once we have PSSA, I know we will have a decent workforce in our informal security personnel. In this Bill, I also recommend that we look at the share that comes to locals if we have a foreign security company. We need to have up to 50 per cent. I think 25 per cent has been recommended in the Bill but I think we should raise it to 50 per cent so that we leave a good amount of money as share capital to our local operators if we have foreign companies running security agencies in Kenya. With those remarks, I beg to support. Thank you."
