"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support. Let us reflect this matter and not compare Kenya with Uganda. One, there are private citizens in this country from the pastoralists’ community called “Kenya Police Reservists (KPR)”, who are not rich and private sector players, who are allowed by the law to access guns. Hon. Mutura’s amendment is that watchmen or security guards in this country be given guns. This is calling for chaos. We have cases where security guards collaborate with criminals and even the police in stealing. Imagine, if you have given them guns they will not need to collaborate. In our homes they will use those guns to rob our families. Hon. Members of Parliament seated here always go to constituencies. If you want to have a gun, the law is very clear you go buy it and it is tested. Why should one have a Form Four certification? Carrying a gun does not need anyone to have a certificate. Therefore, I support the inclusion of this new clause and it should be carried. In the chaos which happened yesterday at Anniversary Towers, the guards around there could have killed people."
