    "content": "Lastly, we have had two or three isolated cases of misuse of firearms. They are few but the damage is devastating. We have made it clear that when NPRs misuse firearms, we shall disarm them immediately and prosecute them. We have already taken measures on three cases; one in Samburu and two in Elgeyo/Marakwet counties. Unfortunately, it was discovered that a livestock raid took place and there was evidence that a gun assigned to a Police Reservist, had discharged the bullet that killed the victims of this crime. By and large, 99.99 per cent of NPRs are doing a great job every day. As the House will realise, the raids have decreased and even in the unlikely event of a raid, the rates of recovery have increased. This includes this weekend when some livestock have been recovered in Isiolo County. They were stolen from Igembe on Friday. By Sunday, the entire herd of 81 livestock was recovered and returned to the owners. To answer the question, we will increase supervision of NPRs and accountability of the firearms and the ammunition that they have. Secondly, we shall hold accountable and punish NPRs who misuse the firearms they are given because they will be spoiling the reputation of a very good asset for our national security. I submit."
