    "content": "This amendment seeks to ensure that the provisions regarding development control do not apply to the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF). The KDF has camps and barracks across various parts of the country. These developments house sensitive security installations, military hardware and equipment. This amendment, therefore, asks for those areas to be gazetted as protected areas, permitting limited access to staff and authorised persons only, details of the layout and the designs thereof are not open to public scrutiny and knowledge. If such information is available to the public, national security of our nation will be compromised as equipment, machinery, weapons, classified information may be accessed and used to harm the Kenyan population, especially in this current advent of systematic threat from terrorism. So, basically it says that in terms of development control, this should not apply to the KDF, their land, camps and barracks because they have very sensitive security installations and military hardware. So, this is just to insulate the information from being accessed by enemies and to forestall any threat that may come to the Kenyan population."
