"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have already explained the reasons why the structure cannot be upgraded to a police station. When it was constructed, the hon. Member never consulted the District Security Intelligence Committee which is required to be consulted to give a go-ahead. He only consulted the PPO, who went and inspected the structures and he saw that the buildings have no ceilings as per the standards that are required by the police. There is no piped water. In fact, there is no source of water. The nearest source of water is one kilometre away! The ten rooms lack other amenities that are required for police families to live in. There are no kitchens and sitting rooms. There are just rooms. The administration block and the rooms were found to be inadequate. Also, the land on which the structure sits on does not belong to the Government. It belongs to the county council. The land is under a dispute. Since January this year, only two crimes have been reported and adequately handled by the police. Four kilometres away from this site, there is a police station on the side of Butere. Then about 12 kilometres away, we have another police station. Following the regulations, it is not possible to make this a police post."
