    "content": " Good. That is very good. We need to give them morale so that if a policeman suffers in the course of duty, he should be supported. We have seen situations where people have wrestled down policemen and taken their guns. This is because these days, policemen fear even shooting thugs. They shoot and then they are taken to court immediately. In the incident that happened in Garissa, the guns were taken from the policemen and the same guns were used to kill the police officers. The police officers fear that if they shoot they will be taken to court and charged. So, we must also change that law. Anybody who has a gun is an enemy. Anybody who comes with a gun and there is a policeman who has a gun, the police officer should shoot that person. Why should a person who has a gun and he is not a police officer--- Who is he going to shoot and why is he carrying that gun? That is a dangerous person. That is not a person you should spare because if you do not shoot him, he will shoot you. This has happened. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we must make sure that our country is secure. We have to make sure that we support our security officers so that they know that whatever job they are doing to defend our people, they are also supported. With those few remarks I beg to support."
