    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, more resources will also be channelled towards improving the quality and breadth of Kenya's product offering, revamping the business visitor offering, and marketing of Kenyan brands abroad. Mr. Speaker, Sir, over the medium-term, the Vision 2030 envisages aggressively facilitating the development of the under developed coast segment by increasing bed capacity, up- June 14, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1835 scaling premium safari parks, high-value niche products such as eco and lake tourism, and the business tourism. Resort cities are also contemplated in Mombasa, Turkana and Isiolo which should serve to broaden the participation by all Kenyans in generating income and helping to make Vision 2030 a reality. These will be facilitated by the private sector, as is currently the case with tourism in the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, turning to Enhancing Public Safety Law and Order, protection of all Kenyans and the security of their property remains top on our priority agenda. Building on the recent reforms to enhance the capacity of our police force to deal with crimes, we will, from 2007/2008, focus our attention on modernising the security systems to cope with new crime- related challenges. Resources will be channelled towards modern equipment to assist the force in crime investigation, surveillance and intelligence gathering. In addition, we will continue to provide more housing to the force, recruit additional police officers - I believe the number is about 25,000 extra - to deal with any emerging crimes and provide more police equipment and vehicles to ensure security of all Kenyans."
