    "content": "I wish to commend the Committee led by the Chair for the good work they have done. At least, we are very sure that our territories will be protected. Lake Turkana and Lake Baringo will be protected. The Coast has been a problem. Most of the drugs are being brought in through the sea and hidden in boats from other countries through the coastal region. The drugs are coming in and they get their way from coast to other areas at the far end of Kenya like Vihiga, Busia and Kakamega, which cause a lot of havoc to our youth. You will find drugs like cocaine and kuber finding their way upcountry. This is becoming a big issue. Right now we have to establish rehabilitation centres just because of these conduits passing through the waters to our country Kenya. This Bill has come at the right time. I urge each and every Member of this Parliament to support this Bill for it to be passed very fast so that these areas are protected and we can save our children, fathers and even women who are vulnerable. There is a lot of insecurity. There are so many illegal guns in the country which are being brought in through the ocean using those boats. So, once this Bill is passed, we will be very safe. We know the areas will be closed. There will be close monitoring of our boundaries and territories and I am very sure we shall not have influx of those weapons that spoil our country. Once weapons are brought in a funny manner like that, they land into bad hands. That is why you find insecurity all over. The weapons may enter through Mombasa, but they will come and cause havoc in Vihiga, Busia, Bungoma and all over Kenya.
