    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Standing on National Security and Foreign Relations on the issue of new police uniforms in Kenya. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State whether there is a Kenya Police Uniform Policy Guideline in place. (2) Explain whether a circular is in place indicating to the police that they can purchase the uniforms on their own at the recommended retailers. (3) State whether the National Police Service (NPS) has provided uniform allowance to the officers to enable them purchase the uniforms on their own. (4) State whether the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government and the NPS have set a specific timeline on the change of police uniforms. (5) Provide a list of companies that were awarded the tender for the supply of new police uniforms in Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is an important matter. When you go around the City, you will notice that ordinary retailers are now making the new police uniforms. That is a dangerous security scar because somebody can walk to a retailer and get a police uniform and wear. We all know that military attire was banned in the country. Nowadays you can walk to a local retailer and make a police uniform. Therefore, some elements in the society can take advantage."
