"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill and term it as very timely. I believe we should have done this earlier than we have but better late than never. I am sure Kenyans out there are wondering what it is we are trying to establish. In very simple terms, the Coast Guard Service is going to resemble the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), which protects our wild animals; it is also going to resemble the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), which protects our forests. It is a uniformed, disciplined force which will take care of both our coastline and inland waters. Kenya deserves this and, therefore, I stand to support that we fast-track the passing of this Bill with a view to making Kenya a better place in terms of its territorial waters. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
