If we can achieve proper registration and proper tracking system using technology, it will be a very good thing for the security of our country. There are rumours that there are legally-held guns that can be hired and used to commit crimes, leave alone the issue of illegal arms. So, the kind of technology that will track firearms will assist in a big way in ensuring that should such a thing happen, the gun used can be tracked. Gun registration and tracking will also be a deterrent measure. One of the major ways of crime deterrence is if those who want to commit crimes know that they will be caught. This Motion comes at a time when we have alerts regarding insecurity from groups like Al Shabaab . The other time I saw in the Press that training has started in certain institutions about how to respond to terrorists. I commend that effort and urge that it be spread as much as possible not only to learning institutions, but also to the ordinary people in the villages. Once again, I thank Hon. Munyaka for bringing this Motion. I hope that those whom we are addressing will take the contents of the Motion very seriously if they are not doing so already. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support the Motion."}
