    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just want to join my colleagues in congratulating the people who came up with this Bill. You know all of us rely on these security personnel. Private security workers are among those mostly abused by their employers. We have tycoons who have formed these private security companies. They charge an arm and a leg to the people who hire these security services but pay peanuts to the people who do the actual job. In rainy seasons like now, you will find most of the guards are not well protected. They do not have umbrellas or raincoats and yet they stay out at night. You will find that the people who are mostly affected are those from the lower cadres. Some of them have to work during the day and at night to try and make ends meet. I support the Bill. I am very happy because there is sanity in private security firms. I hope this is not just a Bill that is going to be passed in this House but one which will be followed to the letter. That is so, so that these Kenyans who are mostly abused can enjoy their work and serve the country."
