    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for the comprehensive Statement. It seems we are just dealing with the symptoms of the insecurity crisis in the Republic of Kenya. I do not want to go to the merits and the demerits of the deployment. I would have asked the Minister, first of all, to avail copies of his written Statement, because that is what we would have believed in, but since you assisted, I do not want to take that route. This country has different security sectors and the KDF is one component. We have the police and within the police we have the GSU, the Rapid Response Unit, the Kenya Police Reservists, the Administration Police and the Anti-Stock Theft Unit. What measures has the Government put in place as a result of this sad incident? It is clear that our police officers are demoralized because of the many years of neglect. What are we doing to revamp our Police Force, so that in future we do not resort to the Army, which should be used as a last resort, to do policing activities? What are we doing in terms of equipping the police, raising their morale, re-training them and about their many years’ delayed allowances like risk allowances? We know that because we live in this country what has happened has not happened along any Kenyan border, but inside Kenya. What has happened to the intelligence? Was this not known to the intelligence entity in the Republic of Kenya? Why did the Government not detect that there were criminal elements who were out to cause havoc within the communities of Kenya?"
