    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, Ms. Odhiambo supports me. She has just said she is hard working and has performed better than many men. She does not need to be among the 30 per cent! That is very good! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of security in this country has been a problem. A lot of money has always been allocated to security. But there are times when security is misused. Sometime back, for the General Service Unit (GSU) officers to come out of their barracks, it had to be something very serious, which the ordinary police officers could not manage. Today, even when somebody goes to the radio and says that tomorrow we shall have demonstrations, they get GSU officers out. The GSU is a very powerful police unit that should not be used just like that. Sometime back they used to be called \" Fanya Fujo Uone \". They should only come out when it is necessary. We have enough police officers to do this job. We have now reached a stage where wananchi are throwing stones at the GSU officers. This is something I never heard of before. So, the commandant of this unit should make sure that these officers go out when the regular police officers have failed. We respect our forces. They are very disciplined and are doing a very good job. They should be kept like that. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to support."
