    "content": "Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am imagining of what would happen if these important Kenyans who are providing security for you down their tools. I think the Minister is trying to play a public relations exercise on the part of the Government on this matter. A circular dated 25th July, 2012 reads: “The Government is committed to the full implementation of the salary award and the shortfall will be addressed in due course.” This circular is for 2012. So, if the Government is committed to paying these allowances and implementing this circular, then there should have been provisions in the 2011/2012 or 2011/2012 Budget, but you find that there has not been any allocation for these police officers. You are aware that the police are on a go-slow and the police radios are not working. Unless we all get into a situation whereby you require the rescue of police officers, we do not understand what it means not to have security. I was a victim yesterday in Mombasa in the melee that took place and I also witnessed the shooting of Aboud and I was with my children. If I did not call the Provincial Police Officer (PPO) who took me from a hotel in Mombasa to where I was going, things would have been very bad. What is the Ministry going to do to make sure that these brothers and sisters are properly remunerated and the Government complies with the promise that it gave to the police officers?"
