    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, but having said that, I support the sentiments by the Acting Minister for Finance, and actually hope that the Budget will capture in a big way recruitment of additional young men and women into the National Youth Service (NYS). This is one way to help but we know that we have delayed. My Ministry has done the necessary arrangements to ask the President and Prime Minister for this kind of financial assistance to be given; we are supposed to have engaged new numbers; these youths go into training in engineering, accounts and hospitality careers. Some are recruited into the armed forces. Given the complications we have, it is good to encourage closer interaction with the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS), the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) and the Kenya Police. I know that in my constituency - I can share this with many others - civilians are doing a lot of work in volunteering information that is helping in curbing violence in many areas. Therefore, it is important for the internal security docket to invest more in community policing in the neighbourhoods, villages, urban estates, shanties or leafy estates. It is good to invest there because sometimes corruption does not spare leafy estates. Just as it happens to the political class, the bureaucracy and the corporate world we are witnessing now; it also happens sometimes in the security forces, and it may require some kind of benchmarking with community input."
