We are also faced with terrorism. I am happy we have not been hit for quite some time now. I thank the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government and the security apparatus for securing peace for Kenyans because we have not had an incident. But they should not sleep on their laurels. They should be alert knowing that terrorism can take place any time any place.

Issues of radicalism and extreme violence are witnessed in parts of the coastal region of this country. It is also good to check what is taught in schools and madrassas. It is possible that wrong values are being imparted into young children and so, they are likely to grow up learning the wrong things.

Insecurity is also fuelled by corruption. We have to admit that corruption has permeated all sectors of this country including the National Assembly. Once we accept that corruption is everywhere, we will get guts to fight it. It starts with me and you. If there is no corruption and things are done the way they should be, I am sure we will realise security.

Last, but not least, cattle rustling is a business. I understand there are people who thrive on it. Senior people in this country encourage it by buying guns for some groups. Imagine if your children are killed. This thing has to be fought by leaders from this House and from all the communities. Investigations should be done. Let there be a select committee to sit and investigate the masters behind cattle rustling. We have lost many people in this country under the guise of cattle rustling. There must be a beneficiary somewhere. We should smoke them out.

Hon. Speaker, I think it is against the rules of this House to discuss a person’s character in this House when they cannot defend themselves.

Is it in order to discuss him in this House when he cannot defend himself? Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Report which is very well written and referenced with 13 annexes. The PIC has done a good job and we commend them. In their observations, they have recommended a very good way forward. First, they want some investigations to be done on the collusion between the NSSF and the China Jiangxi Company. They should be scrutinised because they are the same people who win NSSF tenders every time. At the same time, the Committee recommends that the Tassia II Project be implemented so that the more than 20,000 members can have decent housing. ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just want to request the House that since the Member for Matungu, Hon. Were, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, has made a good request that the Committee be given more time to come up with a good law which will be water tight and will cover everything, the best thing to do would be to give him that time. His Committee is composed of over 20 Members. I wonder why there is haste. There have been two attempts at this law. The other time, I said I smelt a ...
