    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to clarify in simple terms what the amendment intends to achieve. First, I want to thank the Chairperson and Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee for seeing it fit to table this amendment. The Chairperson had mentioned that we know the situation that we are in as a country, especially on matters of security. His Excellency the President has always talked about modernising and revolutionising our security apparatus. A sum of Ksh6.5 billion has been allocated in these Supplementary Estimates to modernise our security agencies, specifically the National Police Service to buy Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles, Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs), gunshot helicopters, aerial unmanned vehicles and drones. We intend to protect that fund so that it can help our security personnel to enhance their operations to tackle insecurity in the country. These were small budget cuts which we wanted to cure, so that crucial security services are not affected. With that, I second the amendment."
