    "content": " Both are my friends. My neighbour, Hon. Ferdinand Wanyonyi, has asked a Question that requires a session for us to engage. The short answer to him is that as soon as I came to the Ministry, one of my decisions was to reorganise the National Police Reservists (NPRs) with a proper scheme of service and defined payments. The stipend should be appropriately determined with the command structure. We have a problem. If you heard me when I was answering Hon. Kangogo, some NPRs are misbehaving. They do not report to anybody. We will determine who qualifies to be an NPR, at what stage one can retire, as well as getting them uniform. In the areas where the NPRs are properly organised, they are doing a fantastic job. We want to borrow from the rangers in some of the conservancies in the country which have properly organised rangers. During my visit to Laikipia last week, I visited a few conservancies. I learnt how they properly organise the rangers because they are part of the NPRs. We would like to extend that to our NPRs. This will be a very important policy framework established by this administration, which should take care of our NPRs. If we organise them well, I do not doubt that we will have better results than the ones operating across the country, including creating a camp for them. Once I am ready, I will come back to either the Committee or the House. I thank the Committee and the Chairperson, who is here, for their Report on banditry, which was also captured. We will make sure that we deal with it. Hon. Speaker, there is also a Question by Hon. Kwenya. Other Members have asked it. Let me be brief. They asked where the list is and who will come first based on the criteria I had announced earlier. We will provide that list to you or through the Committee so that all of us can track it. I hope the interest shown here on the administrative units will cause the entire House to come to a consensus to get us resources to operationalise them once and for all so that there is no queue. There will be no favouritism or constituency being preferred over the other. We will quickly operationalise the areas where we have the worst security situation, even if they were gazetted late because we immediately need them to deal with the security issues. Hon. Speaker, Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu asked the Question on chiefs and sub-chiefs of those areas. It falls within the same issue."
