    "content": "particular law. You can see the constraints of the Inspector-General. It is not possible to confine criminals and arrest them in the existing police cells at the police stations with the current nature of infrastructure. The Report is timely. It needs to be given attention. We ask ourselves many questions. The security apparatus of this country always receives a huge chunk of funding in the budget. Where is this money spent if we do not spend it on expanding the police stations for our own security? Even the cells and prisons in this country should be decent and habitable enough even for the inmates. This Report is timely. It deserves absolute support. The expansion should not only be in Kajiado and Nairobi. It should be undertaken in the whole country. We need to revise the entire system of police infrastructure, police stations and cells. In addition, within the principles of the International Labour Organization (ILO) standards in terms of decent work, all workers must be given the necessary tools to do their work decently so that they are safe. UNICEF and WHO have given guidelines that any worker dealing with matters COVID-19 must be protected with Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs). That means decent equipment. As has been stated by Hon. Nyikal, it is not only within the Police Force. This is also affecting schools. We have come to realise that schools’ infrastructure is inadequate and it is almost practically impossible to reopen our schools because of the nature of infrastructure that we have. We have been very ambitious with the 100 per cent transition and have congested our schools. Other than the Police Service, there are other areas. However, for the purposes of this Report, I support our Police Force. The men and women who are handling our security need the necessary infrastructure, tools and protection because they will be the frontline officers in enforcing our laws. I support the Report. Congratulations Chair."
