    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need your protection to prosecute this Statement because it is very important. In the Statement, the distinguished lady has even said that firearms were withdrawn because they were abused. Hon. Wycliffe Musalia Mudavadi was licensed to possess a firearm in 1993. He has never used it even to shoot at a flying bird. It was withdrawn and all his security detail withdrawn. What transgression had he done? I will not shy away from talking about the issue that I was pursuing. Why is the Government trying to profile communities? This is what this answer is giving us. The distinguished Senator for Kiambu County can rant and say what he has been saying. Wisdom says that you can hide everything, but you cannot hide the truth and the sun. Somebody added that you cannot hide a woman’s pregnancy. This is the plain truth. I want the distinguished Senator to tell this House what violation Prof. Anyang’- Nyong’o committed to warrant him being listed as an offender. What transgression did hon. Olago Aluoch, hon. Musalia Mudavadi, hon. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka and yours truly commit? Provision of security for leaders is not a privilege and peremende given and taken by the government; it is a duty. Secondly, under the Firearms Act - I do not know how many lawyers are across the Floor who can help the distinguished lady - the Government licenses you to have the firearm. The Government cannot wake up and take away your firearm without due process. The first thing is to be given a notice to show cause as to why your license cannot be revoked and the firearm taken away from you for abuse and violation of the law. Can you tell this House and this country what violations the people whose firearms were taken away committed? I have given the examples of hon. Musalia Mudavadi, hon. Kalonzo Musyoka and many others. Can you table the notice to show cause that was The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
