    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Kenya Police Service is a national body that is in charge of law enforcement in Kenya and not in Haiti. The Kenya Police Service was formed in 1906, and later on, we had the National Police Service, which was established in 2011 under Article 243. In normal circumstances, you can give to people or anybody things that you have. If you have something, you can give someone. If you do not have anything, what are you going to give to anyone? Why am I saying this? Let me talk about the United Nations recommended ratio of one police officer to a population of Kenyans. The ratio is one police officer to 450 persons in Kenya (1:450). In our situation now, we have one police officer to 1,150 persons. That means that the police officers we have today in Kenya are 101, and we need 250 police officers to manage the people in Kenya. We have issues in Marsabit, Pokot, Turkana, Samburu, Lamu and Mandera counties. We cannot manage. Why are we sending our officers to Haiti? Forty police officers in Baragoi were killed in a period of about one hour. That means we have a problem. How can we safeguard security and safety of our people in Haiti? When my friend, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, is talking about humanity in Haiti, how about humanity in Baragoi, Marsabit, Mandera and Wajir Counties? I beg to oppose kabisa. It is wrong to send our children there. I do not like this idea. It is not good."
