    "content": "The security sector is critical to the long-term sustainable development and poverty elevation by ensuring safe and fair systems that enable people to work and for businesses to operate and thrive. Despite the state worthy reforms, many challenges still exist in the effective implementation of security sector reforms as was evident in the past through corruption, abduction, torture, disappearance, murder, extrajudicial killings, and the lack of effective oversight and accountability. To reverse these trends, I am happy that the Kenya Kwanza Government has successfully engaged the security sector stakeholders to orientate policing operation. This has ushered in a new policing paradigm geared towards achieving a high level of security for citizens while observing their rights and freedoms to the greatest extent. To strengthen policing services, the Government has executed the necessary instruments to actualise the financial independence of the National Police Service and the realisation that it is the substantive enabler of genuine institutional independence. The operational independence of the police is necessary for its efficiency, professionalism, and accountability. Further, the Government established a task force on police reforms. We hope that as soon as they finish their work, we will start implementing the recommendations immediately by appropriating the necessary resources. We have all heard the President talking about the ambitious modernisation of the police service on several occasions. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support that the House adopts the proposed expenditures as contained in the programmes across the various Votes in this Report. So, having said that, I, once again, want to extend a lot of gratitude to the Budget and Appropriations Committee, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
