    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I just want to say something on what Hon. Chris Wamalwa has said. The issue he has raised is about the security of Members of Parliament. I have seen those people he is calling “boys” and “girls.” That is a derogatory term in reference to those officers. Whether they are from the NYS or the GSU, they are well-labelled. They have put on orange reflector jackets clearly marked “Parliament Security”. In what statute is it written that Parliament must only be guarded by GSU officers or regular police officers? What we need is security. All of us have been complaining that Parliament and its precincts have not been well secured. When did it become wrong for the leadership of Parliament to improve our security by reinforcing the security that we have had – the Serjeant-at-Arms and the GSU – by adding more security personnel? I do not think the issues that have been raised by Chris Wamalwa should take us an hour or two to deliberate on."
