    "content": "requested for Kshs1.7 billion for recruitment of 3,500 officers into the regular police and 6,000 into Administration Police force thus retaining the police to population ratio that is required of 1 to 800. The United Nations standard is 1 to 400. So for the first time, unless something is done, the recruitment will not be done. This will not augur well for the security of this country. The Committee feels very strongly that this House, considering the pivotal role that the Ministry plays in the provision of security, and being the anchor for development, that more funding be accorded to this critical Ministry. We are recommending that the Minister be allowed to withdraw the requested funds from the Consolidated Fund. There is need to allocate funds to these vital areas either in the Supplementary Estimates or in the next financial year to improve service delivery by the Ministry. If there is any Ministry that is in the public eye for provision of services 24 hours a day, it is the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. It is only fair that this House pushes the Ministry of Finance to allocate more funds to this Ministry if we have to realize Vision 2030. With those remarks, I wish to support."
