    "content": "if we have such an opportunity to legislate and ensure that leaders who have served in offices that are extremely important as this one are given what is due to them, we should do it without batting an eye or having a second thought. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, I would like to add something that has interested me in Section 8 (3). It states that:- “Where there is a need to reduce or alter security arrangements of an entitled person, the Inspector-General of Police shall refer the matter to a joint Committee on entitlements for approval”. This is extremely important. A person seated at Jogoo House will not withdraw the security of a leader because they are no longer in office simply because they have received a phone call from the President or whoever is powerful. This matter will be considered by the Committee. I call upon the people that will be given this opportunity to remember that power, like a pendulum, swings both sides. Therefore, it does not matter what the political temperatures might be at that particular time. Whenever these considerations and petitions are brought before the Committee, they should be as level headed as possible. Therefore, for those many reasons, I congratulate, my good friend, Sen. Olekina for a well thought out and drafted Bill. I support his thoughts and hope that they will become a legislation."
