    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, one of the biggest hindrances to our economy and the business sector has been the poor security all over the country. I was, therefore, pleased that there was Kshs2 billion that was put aside to improve the security sector. I am, however, worried that that funding would only be used in purchasing hardware and forgetting the software for security. The software for our security is taking care of the personnel in our security sector. We are, probably, the only country in Africa where our security sector personnel do not have simple medical covers. If your bodyguard was shot today with you, he would have to go to the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) because the APs, police or whichever security agent that your bodyguard comes from, does not have a medical cover. So for me, I think it is one thing to buy hardware, but when the human being who is supposed to handle that hardware does not have job satisfaction, it would be difficult for us to fight the security problem. So, it is my hope and prayer that the extra funding that is going to the security sector should be included in looking at better terms for the police, the APs and the general security infrastructure, so that their salaries are increased and they have insurance covers. I would also hope that, that funding would also be used to implement the security reforms with all those commissions that we have set up in the past that intended to deal with security."
