    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding the non-payment of dues to the National Police Reservists in Trans Nzoia County. Section 110(3) of the National Police Service Act, CAP 84, provides that the National Police Service Reserve officers may be deployed within the country to aid in enforcing all the relevant laws and regulations falling within the mandate of the National Police Service, including maintenance of law and Order, and preservation of peace. These officers operate in hostile environments and place their lives on the line with limited support and equipment in the performance of their duties. In line with this provision, 410 National Police Reservists – commonly referred to as NPRs – were deployed to Trans Nzoia County in January 2019 to protect the community from insecurity, banditry and to maintain law and Order. However, since January 2019, the National Police Reservists have not received their stipend of Ksh5,000 per month nor the promised stipend increase of Ksh20,000 per month after five months of service. Unfortunately, in February 2024, the National Police Reservists were discharged from service without notice or information regarding the settlement of their outstanding dues. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
