Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Hon. Temporary Speaker, thank you very much. I support the Report in the way the Committee has presented it.

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Mine is a personal testimony. We went through the whole process, as I said four times. Each time, we would lose the battle. In the process, we developed knowledge. For the first time, we were very green at this. We...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent)Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I have been rather disappointed with earlier amendments. I cannot say the same about this. This one we support because this is in line with the desire of this country to put a stop on this type of activity which...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I am concerned about these mischievous miscellaneous amendments.

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I am not a lawyer. Ignorance of the law is no excuse whatsoever. So, whether he knows or does not know, if it is against the law, he should be charged. So, I am surprised that I hear this from a...

Hon. Shakeel Shabir (Kisumu East, Independent) Hon. Temporary Chairman, as much as I appreciate the attempt to try and reduce the burden of non-compliance, I think the reason Ksh20 million was put there was to be a warning sort of action. It was put there as a warning. People are...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The amendment is more or less similar to mine, but I would like the regulations to be set rather than asking for them to be set, as and when the National Police Service (NPS) feels they should. I feel...
