    "content": "It is, therefore, important that attention be given to it. We have seen rising cases of suicide among police officers and insecurity, which are attributed to the morale and the quality of working environment that the police are exposed to. I hope that the relevant Committee will look at this matter keenly and recommend measures so that we can have our officers living in the right environment and that will help them provide the security that we need. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the second Statement that I would like to comment on is by the Senator of Lamu County, on the issue of development budget spending for his county. I would like to associate with that Statement and the other statements that the other Members have raised on the same matter. However, allow me to raise a concern. We have had a significant number of Senators raising similar Statements on the issue of budget, pending bills and general financial matters in our county, which are directed to the relevant Committee on Finance and Budget. However, there are other committees also dealing with the same matter of pending bills and such things. We are going to confuse ourselves on this matter of pending bills, taking into account that the Senate Minority Whip, Sen. Olekina, came up with a good motion which this House passed. In addition, the relevant Committee of Finance and Budget has also been handling this matter of pending bills. It is confusing if we allow other committees to start working on the same matter and inviting the same county governments to appear before them. We will get confused. I therefore would like to suggest that we uphold the Motion that we passed here on the matter of budget and pending bills and work towards its full implementation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support and would like to associate myself with those Statements."
