    "content": "I will start by saying that the Budget for the 2013/2014 Financial Year is hinged on a progressive approach to invigorate inclusive growth and move the country to the next level of prosperity. This will be achieved if we implement some of the measures that I highlighted in my contribution to debate on the Budget. I would like to specifically go to the Development Expenditure, starting with Vote D02. This is about security. If we are to move this country to the next level, one particular area we must be keen on is security. I am happy to see that a total of Kshs7.6 billion has been allocated to the National Police Service for purchase or leasing of about 1,200 motor vehicles to increase mobility of police officers even at the grassroots level. It is challenging that police officers are expected to respond to security issues when they do not have vehicles. So, they are not mobile. In case they have vehicles, they do not have enough fuel. It was really disturbing to see that every OCPD in this country is only allocated 28 litres of diesel per day and that will not really make the police perform their functions effectively. So, this is an increment and I hope it is going to help in fighting crime."
