    "content": "we have begun those conversations in the Ministry of what to do differently if we want to move security to the next level, given the complexities of modern insecurity challenges that we face. I agree with the Member for Dagoretti South that the solution lies in the convergence between converting every member of the Kenyan society to an intelligence officer. I say so because I know there are neighbouring countries or countries with even lower GDPs than Kenya, which I do not want to name for diplomatic reasons, with even greater security challenges than Kenya but there is a way in which every member of the community in some of those countries is an intelligence officer and provides information on security matters. So, we must reconsider the way we look at security matters. It is not just the responsibility of police officers to secure the country. It is the responsibility of all of us: a convergence between intelligence, technology and values. That is where we are going. Values because, as has been said by the Members for Dagoretti South and Dagoretti North, if members of the public know that the intelligence they have will be acted on, they will give it. Secondly, if we make it painful and embarrassing for a police officer to allow a drug trafficker to destroy our children, we will have less and less cases of officers aiding and abetting drug traffickers and other criminals."
