    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to correct the impression that there is a difference between community policing and peace committees. In fact, peace committees are part of the community policing initiative. Community policing initiative is also voluntary just like the peace committees. There is no single District Commissioner who does not have a vehicle. When a District Commissioner is appointed, he is given transport immediately. Whenever these committees meet, because they do not meet on a daily basis, we mobilise transport, meeting venues and other logistical support that they require. When funds are available we will consider providing allowances for them. The institutions that have supported conflicts and peace initiatives have so far spent Kshs3.5 million. We have got money from Oxfam and Kshs2.2 million from the Arid Lands Resource Management Project. So far, all the money given from these organisations is Kshs3.5 million. We welcome support from any group that may be willing to chip in to make these peace committees more effective."
