    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am asking for your indulgence for five minutes because I want to speak as the Chairman of Amani Forum and you know you are a Member of the said Committee. First, I want to congratulate Mr. David Kimaiyo for coming this far in terms of this position. I was extremely delighted that in spite of my misgivings about the security forces and its ethnicity, they were able to bring out such a fine Kenyan. We are seeing signs of a reformed country and a reformed Police Service. I want Mr. Kimaiyo to appreciate Article 44 of the Constitution. If we can focus on these issues where the Police Service will strive to get the highest professional standards; where they prevent corruption, promote and practice accountability and apply the constitutional standards of human rights, then we will truly have made a difference with the new Constitution. I say this as a victim of abuse of police powers in the most recent occasion. I want to speak hoping that Mr. ole Metito is here. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the problem of northern Kenya is the issue of lack of sufficient security, chronic underdevelopment and marginalization which the Constitution in a way has tried to help but the Minister for Finance has yet to put in the Equalization Fund that will address some of the historical injustices including security."
