    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, my time has been saved. Thank you, for that information. In fact, I had already said that in Laikipia County, the population was crying for NPRs. What I am recommending to the Committee, as we go along in pursuing these reforms, is that NPRs should be competitively recruited. Two, they should be trained on how to handle weapons. Three, they should be trained on how to respect human rights. In Laikipia, we found overwhelming support for police reservists but in other areas, we found complete disdain and fright about the presence of police reservists. So, how do we harmonize this? One, we have to train them. Secondly, we have to put them on some stipend for them to stop thinking that the gun that they have been given is the source of their livelihood. When they cannot make ends meet, they should not abuse those guns so as to put food on their families’ tables. They should be given stipend from the national coffers because they are part of community policing that we have in this country. We must also acknowledge them when they do a good job. When they do not do a good job, we must say so and ask them to improve."
