Thank you, hon. Speaker. I would like to express my sincere condolences to the family of the late hon. Muchai and the people of Kabete Constituency for losing their Member of Parliament and also, to the families of the two bodyguards and the driver. It is unfortunate that, that incident happened. We were with hon. Muchai in Mombasa and he was in very high spirits. So, when I heard about his death, I really got shocked.

Hon. Speaker, it is unfortunate that we have lost hon. Muchai. He was a humble and courageous man. He was a trade unionist. As we debate here today, you can hear what is going on outside. The teachers also want to be given a hand, especially those in North Eastern. I am sure if hon. Muchai was here, maybe, he would have provided a better solution.

Having said that, if you look at the young families of those aides who lost their lives in the line of duty, it is my humble request to the Government that if there is a way they can help and take care of those families, we will appreciate. If somebody can dare to shoot someone with two bodyguards, it shows we are not secure. As we speak today, we cannot say we are 100 per cent secure. We call upon the Government to improve security. We were told that cameras were installed all over---

Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to second the Motion. The House Business Committee is a critical Committee as far as the smooth running of the business of this House is concerned. So, I am calling upon my colleagues to support this list. We did not have any changes. If you look at the list, it is the same team that was there the previous Session. The fact is that they already have experience and there is something called the “learning curve”, they have that advantage and we are not going to have the teething problems that were there initially. ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker. Matters to do with security should not be given a partisan approach .Security is important to everybody whether you are in CORD or Jubilee. This law is like a hermaphrodite. We have the positive and the negative. In normal circumstances where we have a hermaphrodite, you do surgery. It can be either that way. That is my interpretation so that it can conform to either part. At the Third Reading, we are going to bring some amendments to make this law to go through. I want to speak soberly without any bias. I will start with ...

Research has shown clearly. I was almost a victim of the Westgate Massacre. My family was there. These people were planning the terrorist attacks in the refugee camps. When you look at the Refugees Act, it says that when a refugee comes here he should be given 30 days to register. Why 30 days? This law says you should report immediately.

What is wrong with a refugee coming to report immediately so that we can monitor that? I want to speak objectively. Secondly---
