Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with Sen. Sakaja that this is more of a legal issue than a security issue, that we do not condemn people for life. Once you have served your sentence, then it should be assumed that you are reformed, you get back to society and serve it. If there are gaps in law, they need to be addressed.

Madam Temporary Speaker, now you can see the justification for saying that this Statement is dangerous. I am on the Floor. I have not even been able to say anything. Let me try to conclude by saying that when I was growing up in the 1980s, Kitui is known to be a rain deficit region, but we have got some semblance of trees on some mountains. Today, those mountains have been completely cleared by loggers and what we should be doing now is actually tightening the rules and any laws on logging, impose strict ban on logging for the next ...
