    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Motion. This is not the first time Kenya is sending police officers for humanitarian and security issues in other parts of the world. This country is well-known all over the world as a country of champions. These are people who fly to all the cities in this world. Therefore, this country is regarded very highly. Giving humanitarian support and security to other affected countries is affecting the lives of the police officers. Police officers have been trained and taken oath that they will support and at least go wherever they believe they can help give security. If anybody feels that somebody is going to die, even if they are in Kenya, they will still die. Someone was saying 40 police officers lost their lives in Samburu County; it is the same thing. It is not a big deal. The Kenya Police were in Sierra Leone, Namibia, Somalia and South Sudan. It is not the first time they are sending police officers there. I know one person who comes from Wajir County. He was a police inspector and went to Sierra Leone. We do not know whether he died, was killed or is still alive. To date, nobody can confirm the whereabouts of Mr. Aden Hussein and he has not been found. He was a Chief Inspector and also a Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) officer. The widow and the children were not taken care of. This is why we need to have proper facilities. In case of death or loss, the family and, especially children, should not be left without any support. I know the UN pays these people a lot of money through the Government. Therefore, in case of anything, God forbid, we need their families to be given services and taken care of. We all know that whenever there is a mission outside, they come here asking for our military or police."
