I would like to support the Motion and also thank the Mover of the Motion for bringing it at this very important moment. I would like to appreciate the effort and work being done by the Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs) in the hotspots of insecurity especially in marginalized areas like where I come from. Indeed, they do a great job to the extent that, as leaders, when we go around the county, we use them as security because there is a shortage of Administration Police officers and the regular police officers. I think the criteria for one to be recruited as a Kenya Police Reservist (KPR) should be looked into. There are KPRs who may not be able to speak English or Kiswahili. This gives them a hard time to communicate with the District Commissioner (DC) or the community because not everybody in a particular area speaks the same language."}
