    "content": "Today, I want to speak here as the Member of Parliament for Sotik Constituency. On Saturday, we buried a young man who was working with the KDF. His name is Justus Kipkorir Too. He is a very young soul. It was a very sad moment to lose the young man who left a very young widow. I support whatever my colleagues have said – that we need to look into the issue of compensation for these lost souls. Many issues came out during that funeral. People asked me questions and I want to say this: One is the criteria that the system uses to identify officers who go to these battlefronts. This young man joined the service only in 2021. People expressed doubts whether these people are experienced enough to go to the forefront. People also asked me hard questions like the conditions in which our officers live. We will discuss this in our Committee. As a Member of the Committee, I would not like to discuss this issue. However, I want to mention one person who has done a very good job in this Government - the Cabinet Secretary for Administration and Internal Security, Prof. Kindiki Kithure. I am happy he has stopped the wanton destruction of lives in the North-Rift region. We are now reporting peaceful areas in the Rift Valley and in some parts of northern Kenya. I thank him for doing this. We, in the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs, are forgetting the modernisation of whatever equipment our officers are using."
