The reason for that is that, we have not been given ample time. The Committee has not been given adequate time to deliberate on this Bill. There is need to do some consultations with the Office of the Attorney-General, the National Security Intelligence Service and all the other stakeholders. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, therefore, I think there is need to refer this Bill to my Committee. Let me say this: The Bill is being rushed. It is very sensitive.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government is accountable for what is happening in Mt. Elgon because it is their duty as clearly stipulated in the Constitution of this country. Since this thing began taking place in Mt. Elgon, the Government has kept mum. It has turned a deaf ear to what is happening in Mt. Elgon. It is very important for the Minister in charge of national security to come out clearly and tell Kenyans what is happening there. There has been a tendency in the past that every time we are nearing elections, there are clashes, either tribal or ...
