Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. From the beginning, this Bill appeared to be a property of ICT, but the more we delve deeper into the horizon, the more we see that these are security matters. The minute we are saying it is about crime, I think we know clearly where law and order lies in this land. That is why we should not make it an ICT and computer function. It is about national security.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to take the shortest time possible. I think what we lack is leadership. In this House we have a committee that should be able to summon both interior and special programmes. Coming from northern Kenya, I think the face of disaster response is Red Cross Society. I think it is high time this House approved that Red Cross should be given funds so that they are able to work for this country, because at any time instead of seeing a CS, you see the face of Abbas Gullet. That is how ...

Thank you Hon. Chairman. The suggested amendment should be read alongside the parent Bill. The parent Bill talks about gathering information and maintaining a database. The Chair should qualify why this paragraph is being deleted. Having a database is very important in an irrigation scheme. Thank you.

Having been a public servant and a professional, he is a breath of fresh air into that office. For that reason, I ask the Mover to reply.

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I wish to add my voice to this Petition. This Petition addresses a very important segment of the Kenyan community. The Petition that has been raised almost borders on constitutional exclusion. That is why the Committee that will look into that Petition must do so with a critical eye so that the heavy issues that they have raised can be addressed.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to add my voice to the contribution of Hon. Ngunjiri. The proposal by Hon. Kathuri changes the purpose of this Motion in its entirety. If we are going to go by that, whether the Hon. Member who sponsored the Motion agrees or not, as a House, we really want to know what the purpose of the Motion was from the beginning. The purpose is very clear. It was to look at the police force in Kenya in its entirety, but there are pockets of trouble that lack security. How are ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, further to that, I agree with Hon. Ngunjiri that the contribution of all the Members who have spoken have talked about the general problems within the police force. We agree, as a House, but if we allow that particular amendment to pass, then we shall have changed the purpose of the Motion.
