    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will ask quick questions since I had requested earlier on the three questions. Hon. Cabinet Secretary, congratulations for the good job. I know you are up to the task. We have served in this House together twice. The first question is on the recruitment of the National Police Reservists (NPR) and chiefs. I know that the Principal Secretary (PS) is aware that there is too much politics around the recruitment of chiefs and NPRs within the counties. Is there a way the Cabinet Secretary can work it out to ensure that the recruitment of NPRs and chiefs are done a transparent manner, so that everybody can see the process is very transparent without politics? The people who are causing problems in these two processes are politicians. They should be locked out completely in order for the process to be transparent, so that the members of the public are satisfied. That is point one. I know you are smiling and should be able to work out a strategy on that. Finally, is the issue of police who have overstayed in hardship areas. I have been in the security sector some time back and the policy has been that if you have served in hardship areas for five years, you should be posted to another area. Nowadays police officers take even more than 10 years in those hardship areas. By then, they have familiarized themselves with the community and are not taking the work they are doing seriously. Could the Cabinet Secretary implement the policy on the five-year rule, so that the police officers in the hardship areas are transferred to other areas, while others are brought into those hardship areas? I thank you."
