    "content": "Hon. Speaker, before I contribute to this Bill, I want to inform the country and the Minister for Interior and Coordination of National Government that a Member of the County Assembly for Baringo in my Constituency, Hon. Thomas Minito, disappeared yesterday at around 1.00 O’clock. Some people who masqueraded as police officers got hold of him and demanded that he gives a statement. Up to now, we are working round the clock with the police and the Ministry of Interior and National Coordination to locate this politician. I want to call upon Kenyans, and especially the people of the Rift Valley region, to assist in locating this politician. I also wish to make an appeal to the police, because this is a season of politics that politicians must be given sufficient security. This is because we have heard of aspirants being kidnapped, like in the case of Limuru in Kiambu County. Therefore, I would like politicians to be given maximum security. As the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security of this House, I have urged the Minister and the Inspector-General of Police (IG) to take appropriate action to ensure that politicians from both sides of the political divide are given proper protection. Hon. Speaker, having said so, I wish to support the Legal Metrology Bill. If the House expedites its approval, this Bill will assist us in the many challenges that we face in the area of metrology. I support."
