"content": "in the district. It is no excuse to say that people got annoyed and went on rampage. It was the police encouraging it. Let the Ministry not use police to cause insecurity. On community policing, a concept that I support, but this again can be used to hire goons to cause insecurity. Let it be well thought out. Let the community be given a chance to point out the people they can trust. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have looked at the budget relating to the Office of the President and State House and State Lodges. I have seen there is a big budget of Ksh239 million for all the State lodges for building and maintenance. Maintenance is okay, but why are we constructing at a time like this when our people are eating pig food and others are dying of hunger? I will not say the same for police housing because they are in dire need of housing. However, any construction whether in State lodges or any other place, should be scaled down. This is a time the country is hungry. Finally, the Minister ought to be concerned that the police win the medal for corruption year in, year out. The toll stations are not meant to improve the way our roads are used but are meant to extort money. It is time the Minister instituted reforms. We do not want to hear of task forces. This Ministry is fond of creating task forces like the Cockar Task Force. With a lot of reluctance, I support."
