Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to second.

Hon. Speaker, I also wish to agree that the matter before the House is weighty. I know there is the urge to pass this matter as carried by the House during the Committee stage. If we had the House of Lords, where you have low lords, we could just pass it anyway because it can be intercepted there and corrected, but we do not have that House. You remember the issues elucidated by Hon. Otiende Amollo. There are people who had put cotton buds in their ears because they did not want to hear them. Those are constitutional weighty matters. ...

My wish is that you ignore the passion and the mob that is shouting about supporting without considering the consequences of what we are asking for. I would hate to hear of refugees from Ethiopia being moved to Marsabit and Isiolo to become voters just because somebody wants numbers. Hon. Speaker, save the country. Use your office. Thank you.

For the record of the House, I think it is good that Members do not just utter words that add no value apart from incitement.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to second this Report. I want to remind those who are questioning the regional part of it that I actually happen to be one of the people who have problems whenever there is a problem in Marsabit or Isiolo. They are my immediate neighbours. I want to second this by stating that it is true we have had a long period of disquiet in this region specifically this county. It is not just the 2006 disaster that happened. If you remember, we lost even the other provincial team of Ishmael Chelanga and the other team ...

disarmed. So, the story of the guns existing in Marsabit County should be a shame to the national Government, which should ensure there is no overflow of the illegal guns from neighbouring Ethiopia. I remember towards the end of 1997 we had quite a lot of issues. Police officers across the border were being kidnapped. It is the same behaviour now and it should alert the national Government to put in place adequate measures. For instance, the government should ensure that Nyumba Kumi is active in this county more than any other specifically because of the flow of illegal guns ...

The Government should make sure that there are no incidences of insecurity in any part of this country. When one part is in trouble, all of us are in trouble.
