    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in supporting this Motion, I have an issue with Clause 115. I am one person who comes from a community which just survived through the teeth of a crocodile or whatever you can call it, because of insecurity. Thanks to the Kenya Police Reservists (KPR). Looking at Clauses 115 they say they shall be given allowances as may be prescribed. Let us be definite. The first month and the second month, they should do something. This is because the KPR, currently, in my constituency work on full time basis. This is why we have peace between us and the Pokot. I appreciate the work of police officers but unfortunately, sometimes the terrain is difficult. Some of them are from flat grounds and if you post them into these difficult and stony terrains where cattle rustling is common, they are not able to follow the cattle. I feel that the KPR do a great job especially as far as cattle rustling and maintaining peace in these areas is concerned. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 113(2) talks about the state of war and emergency, but what about our areas where fighting over cattle is common? Our young men still marry and raid cattle. What happens? We need them to be called to maintain peace and order at such times especially for women and girls who suffer in such cases. I support."
