    "content": "Parliament of a cosmopolitan constituency. We have all the tribes in Turkana Central. We have original Somalis, who have been living there for many years, even before I was born. Some of them have intermarried with the Turkana. When they do something wrong, or they travel out of the country and come back, there is a tendency of linking them with terrorists. This amendment will enable them to appeal, so that they can be given an opportunity to speak. I commend our security forces for reducing cases of terrorist attacks. Now our country is completely secure because security agencies are working together as partners. Two years ago each force was working on its own. Now co-ordination in the security sector in this country is improving. We encourage our security agencies to work together as a team for the sake of Kenyans who pay them. The inclusion of accessories in the Registration of Firearms Act is very important, so that even if you do not have a gun but you have accessories you must be arrested. One can bring accessories separately and assemble them into a gun. So, the possession of firearm accessories must also be considered as a crime, whether the accessories are in your own house, or you are walking with them. Some people use these accessories to make bombs and local firearms. So, we need to extend the criminality to accessories, so that when you are found with an accessory you have to give an account of where you got it from and for what purpose. With those few remarks, I support the Bill. I would wish to bring some amendments later on. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity."
