    "content": "The other point that I would like to bring forth is that I laud the Minister for enhancing security, particularly community policing. In the area that I represent in northern Kenya, we have a system of the Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs). That is the only effective community policing that is in place. The regular policemen, so to speak, do not have the resources to provide the security to the Turkanas in my own constituency. So, the reliance has always been on the KPRs, who are very few. It has been said every now and then: “Let us increase their numbers and make sure that we give them adequate training so that they can work hand in hand with the regular police to be able to provide security to Kenyans and their livelihoods.” I do hope that, in this House, when we come to re-look at the Police Act, we will be looking at how we can enhance community policing so that, at least, we can expand it and give training to those who are actually helping to provide security at no cost at all."
