    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important Motion by Hon. Victor Munyaka. There are very many guns in the hands of wrong people and many people have suffered as a result of these guns. Personally, I have been attacked twice by people with guns. I thank God for sparing my life. I support this Motion in the belief that the proposed system will work. Like my colleagues have said, I also have my doubts, but I am supporting the Motion in the belief that the system will work. A tracking system that not only tracks the gun but also tracks the owner is possible to implement. If you track a gun without the owner, then it will not help us. I oppose the amendment proposed by Hon. Korir because there are very many guns hired and used by criminals. If we only say that we track guns owned by civilians and leave out legal guns, we will be creating business for people owning legal guns because the cost of hiring a gun will go up. I fully support a tracking system that will be fitted in all guns in the country. The cost is irrelevant where the life of a person is involved. If it is possible to fit a tracking device on guns to ensure that innocent lives are saved including those of law enforcement officers, we should not be bothered so much with the cost at this stage. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I fully support this Motion. Thank you."
