    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Murango of Kirinyaga County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, looking at the establishment of police stations, posts and patrol bases, it is not only in Kirinyaga County as he has indicated, but also in other counties. Sometimes, I wonder when I look at the living conditions and standards of the security personnel. Some of them live under very poor conditions yet the stations are established. Facilities are lacking and the standards are very poor. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have been crying because of corruption by the police. However, they are subjected to some situations where for them to survive and live, they have to request for little favors in exchange of service. The establishment of these posts and patrol bases is very necessary because Kenyans need security. It is important that the ratio of police officers to civilians be improved so that security is also improved. I also wonder about the budgetary allocation to security personnel, in view of where they live as they serve this nation. It is important for it to be increased. This will help them live in an honorable manner and serve Kenyans with dignity and commitment to their work."
