    "content": "2. Hon. Speaker, the NPR are recruited from locals who are conversant with the local culture and terrain. The sub-county security process of doing it is as follows: (a) The Security Sub-County Committee, in collaboration with the local administration, identifies potential candidates. After the Committee identifies such candidates, the minutes are sent to the County Security Committee for verification. Thereafter, they are sent to the Kenya Police Headquarters together with the fingerprints of their recruit candidates. The fingerprints are forwarded to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for further vetting, and clearance is received before the training commences. (b) Section 110(7) of the NPS Act 2014 stipulates that the Inspector-General (IG) of Police undertakes the training of reserve police officers to ensure that they are consistent with the relevant provisions of the Constitution and this Act. (c) Section 113, sub-section 3 of the same, provides that the reserve officers shall be enlisted and trained by the IG. The NPS Standing Orders provide that NPR may undergo training, which includes general police duties, weapon training, shooting, conflict resolution and management, methods of persuasion and care of specific victims. The training is done at the county level. There exists a standard training syllabus which is used for all the training countrywide. 3. Hon. Speaker, the NPR undergoes a mandatory six-week training course on arms handling, law and safety, after which successful trainees usually pass out through a police parade. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I submit."
