    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand to oppose this Motion for this reason. This deployment is unconstitutional and that exactly is what I am going to demonstrate. The Constitution of Kenya at Article 241 talks about defence forces and defence forces do not include our police service. Under Article 240, it is contemplated that Kenya can deploy forces for external purposes. It does not mention that we can deploy the services for external purposes. I have also read the Police Service Act and looked at the functions of the police in that Act. The functions under the Police Service Act do not include carrying out work that is outside of Kenya. It provides for that internal security and being deployed for emergency purposes. It also provides that services may be deployed in the defence of Kenya."
