    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the security sector is a critical component of the Republic of Kenya. Taking into account the recent spate of insecurity in different parts of the country, there is no other institution better qualified for better terms than the police. I want to remind the Minister of the recent National Intelligence Service (NIS) Bill, which is now an Act because His Excellency the President has assented to it. If the Ministry of State for Public Service plays politics with the terms and remuneration of police officers and that affects our national security, then it will be culpable and will be charged for having jeopardized national security. Therefore, it is not an issue that you can play with. This Government does not lack resources. We do not want, because of other issues, our police officers, who play a critical role in protecting Kenyans, not to be paid simply because you have your coalition politics, or due to other issues. We want these people to be paid, so that they can continue serving ordinary Kenyans. When are you going to implement this? It is not an issue about the Supplementary Estimates. As Mr. C. Kilonzo has said, July is already gone and you can ask for a supplementary budget? When are you going to implement this?"
