Hon. Deputy Speaker, given that hon. Dalmas Otieno and hon. (Eng.) Gumbo have talked to the same and we did not consult with on. Wamunyinyi, I think that we are working at cross purposes; I take counsel. My fear is that it is more or less the same thing.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to add my voice to this very progressive Bill.

I regret that this Bill does not concern the military or the disciplined forces. We had a problem in Garissa, but because the boss had instructed somebody below him to fly to Mombasa, he flew to Mombasa notwithstanding what was happening. That has been reported.

It is another old way of doing things without listening and seeing that there is a problem in northern Kenya. Therefore, our people cannot go back there because of insecurity. Somebody says that you either do it or leave and there is no negotiation. This ...
