    "content": "I fully support what the Senator for Nandi County has said. In my opening answer, I had mentioned the need to harmonise all these formulas. I have a formula because of something called hardship allowance. Somebody else has something called enhanced allowance. That is the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). The Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) has got another revelation for another purpose. Somebody else has got definition because of the Equalization Fund. Somebody else has it because of drought mitigation. I agree that I am going to work with my colleagues within the Executive so that we can have one definition that is coherent across all users and we do not have people defining hardship for their own experience. In regards to the discussions we are having with the Kenya Defence Force (KDF), the National Police Service (NPS), the Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS), the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) and other discipline forces, this has been replaced by all these formations under the leadership of His Excellency the President. The National Youth Service (NYS) needs to be the catchment area for the future from which anybody who is going to join our disciplined force is going to come from. This is important because if you take a youth who has gone through six months of paramilitary training by the NYS, by the time you get to Kiganjo for the police training, they will cut the training time from nine to four months thus saving on cost and ensuring that you can deploy faster. There is a justification and a value proposition that it makes more sense to recruit from the NYS because they have already been trained and gone through the basic drills that they would otherwise have gone through if they would have joined from day one in these disciplined forces."
