"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, with all due respect to what my colleagues have said, I think it is important for us to look at what is happening around the world. The KDF has a factory in Eldoret, but they are also performing their duties. It is very dangerous for us to lock out the activity that I am proposing because somebody might say in future that they should stop what they are doing because it is not provided for in law. We have just received the President of South Africa and one of the things the governments have agreed is that we will be supplied with special equipment. It is important for us to know that the equipment has been developed with the support of the Government in that country. We know that Boeing produces jets used in this country, including all the jet fighters. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, on research, if we have to develop as a country, we have to open the academia to join the army because we are no longer dealing with conventional warfare. It is becoming a sophisticated area and, locking out research is not the best thing for this country as we move forward."
