    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I come from a county called Elgeyo-Marakwet that borders West Pokot County where Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo comes from. One of our biggest problems is dealing with cattle rustling. We have a great challenge when it comes to the number of police men and women serving in these pastoralist counties. Therefore, there are many young men who have actually committed their energy, time and resources to serve our people in Elgeyo-Marakwet County but they have not been compensated with anything. There has been no formal recognition that has been given to them. They depend on small donations. When we go home and give them Kshs1, 000, they will survive for two to three months. I think it is important that we formalize this process because when we formalize, we will do away with the “Waiganjos” of this world. The existence of “Waiganjo” is a statement in public notoriety that there are some other people who want to ride on police reservists for ulterior motives, but if we have a formal engagement, we will be able to protect the interests of our people and at the same time supplement the work of the police. I congratulate my friend, my neighbor, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. I support."
