    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not surprised. About four years ago, we went to that site with the Nyanza Provincial Commissioner and we sanctioned the construction of a police unit. Whether it is a post or a station, that is up to the Assistant Minister. This is a border post where there is cattle theft day and night. Last year, I asked a Question in this House about the murder of Dr. Odera in his home, which is next to that post. The facility was not staffed then. The Assistant Minister is saying that there is no immediate need to staff the police post. This is something that the District Commissioner, the Provincial Police Officer (PPO) and everybody else has okayed. It is a nicely built station. All we can tell our people is that the Government does not think it is going to get votes there. The Government is dishing out police posts and district headquarters in other areas and I think the Luhyias and the Luos along that border deserve to be treated like everybody else. Could the Assistant Minister get serious and tell us why the PC, the DC and everybody else asked us to use CDF money to construct that nicely built structure if they did not have the intention of staffing it? Do we have parallel governments in this country?"
