    "content": "sneaked in but with the wrong intentions, because nobody has said the intentions of this. That is why that Committee has done a good job to say we cannot support this kind of thing. Privacy must be obeyed by whomever. If my privacy is being violated by legislation, then that is proper. If the security of this country and citizens is being interfered with by something that they are not aware of then the Government needs to be very careful on how they deal with this situation. I know for a fact we have to put limitations. What limitations has the Government put in place? Anybody can import. Al Shabaab can import. A Member of Parliament, like Mugambi, can import as a business opportunity, but how am I going to use it. The other key thing is safety. It has come out in the Committee’s report that it has caused aircraft accident. We cannot have legislation that allows the use of an instrument which we know is going to have safety problems. Through this Committee or any other committee, I will ask Members we find out who authorised, because there are many of them being used here. You have heard Members saying some of them are being secretly monitored by the drones. Who authorised the drones? How did they come into being? Many things are wrong in the country. What this Committee has done is to ensure we cannot continue to perpetuate such acts. So I support the annulment of these Regulations. Public participation is a constitutional requirement. We cannot sit here and spend a lot of time, because the person who brought it up did not follow the Constitution and the right regulations. So we support the annulment and ask the concerned - the Government, KCAA, the military - to be brought together to map out the way forward, whether drones are necessary in Kenya or not. I would emphasise that if there are such operating, it is the high time the Government took a stand and told Kenyans how the drones found themselves in the country without proper legislation having been put in place. So I support the annulment. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
