Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri has expressed optimism that the security bill passed by parliament in December will go a long way in addressing the country’s secutiry shortfalls exhibited in the past.
Speaking in Nakuru over the weekend Kimani said that the president would now have more powers to exercise authority while dealing with security matters.
“Those who are opposing the bill are only trying to raise baseless issues, the government needed stronger muscle to deal with terrorists,” said Ngunjiri.
While deputy speaker of the National Assembly Joyce Laboso has stated the need to have changes made in the standing orders to crack the whip on errant MPs, Kimani appeared unapologetic on what transpired in the house when the bill was being passed.
“I have he no regrets, even after being linked to the fracas the situation in the house by then had become uncontrollable and he had to take the lead in defending the deputy speaker,” added Ngunjiri.
He challenged the opposition to adopt a more civilized manner of handling issues rather than engaging in name calling.
