    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have already outlined the measures that the Ministry is taking to make sure that there is no shortage of fuel. I have outlined those measures and I do not think it is necessary to repeat them. What I would like to emphasize is that, if you look at the budgetary allocation for this year, you will see that we were given Kshs160 million. That is below the projected estimate of Kshs360 million. So, we are left with a deficit of Kshs200 million. We have already written to the Treasury to explain that predicament. We need more money to make police work easier. But I have already outlined the measures. We want the police to prudently spend their money. They should also use their communication gadgets to take charge of situations, without necessarily using vehicles to travel. We are also putting up police posts in areas where crime incidents are high, so that we do not have policemen travelling from police stations to those areas. We should have police presence in those particular areas. So, those are some of the measures. The other measure is to make sure that Authority to Incur Expenditures (AIEs) arrive on time. We will also come up with special AIEs that could be used during the period before the Treasury has released the cheques and AIEs, so that we are able to have fuel throughout the year in the police stations."
