Also, the Bill does away with the notion of hawking of SIM cards. We have seen for instance in this country Kenyans suffering as a result of emerging crimes like terrorism, and particularly in Murang’a County where we have situations where Kenyans, or even people in my county, are taken hostage.

• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Another reason why I am opposed to this list is because we should look at the nature of the functions of this PAP and, therefore, we take into account the interests of this country.
