    "content": "or the Treasury on the way they do business. But perhaps what could help so that these stories that they need more money as has been said for five years in this Parliament and as was said in other parliaments, is to move the entire Government to live in Eastleigh so that they can feel the pain of insecurity. We should have the residences of these Ministers in First Avenue Eastleigh and Second Avenue Eastleigh so that when we say we need money, this Government can understand. I really hope Mr. David Kimaiyo will not be let down by this Government and the next Government by not being given the support which is required. He will be frustrated just like the current Police Commissioner if we do not give him money. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have seen Ministers coming here to whine and yet they sit in Cabinet. Please, do not whine here. Go and whine in the Cabinet meetings. If you find the Minister for Finance is not co-operating to give money to the police force, sack him and replace him with another one. If you have money to build Thika Road to the tune of Kshs20 billion, why can we not look for Ksh20 billion to equip the police force? Baragoi killings occurred and this Government does not recognize policemen. When 20 kids were killed in America, flags flew half mast in America. When 47 police officers died in Baragoi, no flag was flown at half mast in this country and this Government expects us to tell them that they have a good name. If they do not facilitate the police, the new Inspector-General will be as frustrated as the current Police Commissioner. As I support, let us not talk of what should be done. Let us act."
