Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support. This Bill is very important. It will go a long way in streamlining private security operations in this country. I am happy that some clauses in the Bill have taken care of important aspects, like the one on their identification. Before, we have seen private security firms copying our security officers. Some of them have vehicles, uniforms and logos similar to those of the police. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

For the first time, I am happy that even the welfare of those who work as private security guards is catered for in this Bill. We have seen several guards die because of pneumonia. They work at night and yet their security firms do not take care of their welfare. With this Bill, their welfare is catered for; their tools and protective clothes are catered for. They are going to work in a more effective way in supplementing security in our country. I support.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand to oppose this amendment. It is unconstitutional because in elective positions, you do not need to create funds for women or say that one constituency can elect only a woman and another constituency can elect only a man. This amendment is totally unconstitutional. This House makes laws for posterity and not for individuals. So, I totally oppose the amendment.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand to oppose the amendment by Hon. Pukose. Like the Leader of the Majority Party has said, this is not an ordinary Bill.

Bill. It is not binding Kenya alone. It is an international Bill. Bringing many amendments is going to dilute the Bill. Secondly, the World Anti-Doping Agency has its own doctors. They also have their own medical reports to approve.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I wanted the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Lands to clarify something. Is he moving the amendment as a whole because he is just saying Clause 5? We want him to explain to us what he seeks to amend under Sections (a)(b) and (c) in that order.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, back in 1985 when Kenya Power Company was building a huge power line in my constituency, they displaced many people who lived along the line. Going by this Bill, the county governments will hold the monies which are paid to the communities until the land is registered, and that can take a very long time. Though it is a constitutional provision that the county government manages community land, I would like to request the Chair to drop Part (1) or come out clearly in the regulations, which will be passed by this House. We would like ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. This is a very straightforward amendment. I wanted to propose one thing, which is on regulations. The Departmental Committee on Lands should start with the title deeds of those communities which have never seen or held one.

Thank you, Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the amendment. According to the Constitution, it is not the work of the county government to impose taxes on national forests. The work of the CS here is basically administrative and policy making. It cannot be like what my colleague, Hon. Oyoo is saying that it should be subject to another Parliament legislation. It is going to be just a regulation or policy statement.
