    "content": "Getting a title deed for land is a nightmare. I have done it for three police stations in my constituency. Getting title deeds has taken a long time because there are many unnecessary procedures at the Ministry. I cannot get security in my area because of those delays. That is a challenge we are facing as a country. There are many unnecessary procedures in terms of procurement, which delay our contractors. These people get loans to do the work, and then they are delayed because of funny procedures. It can even take months before they are paid. It then becomes a scam at the end of the day. With regard to employment, factors such as competence, gender, and regional balance should be considered. It is not just a mere discussion. In our country, in the last one year, only members of one or two tribes have been employed in Government institutions. We have 42 tribes in this country. That is very bad because we will not get quality work. It is very important to consider all tribes in Kenya because no one chooses where to be born. We found ourselves where we are, and it was not a mistake. We all have rights because this country belongs to all of us. It is unfair. On the issue of security, when Kenyans were busy engaging in maandamano, which is their right, the police were shooting and killing innocent Kenyans, which is unconstitutional. That is bad and we should not allow such a thing to happen in our country. The police service needs to be regulated and something needs to be done. Because other colleagues want to contribute, I want to thank the Committee and I support the Report."
