    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also want to add to what hon. Shill has said. It is true that in most parts of the North Eastern region – what is called Garissa, Wajir and Mandera counties – police units are very few. All the AP units that have been in existence in that area have been removed. That is a fact. The head of the National Police Service (NPS) and his two deputies are aware. We have raised this matter with them. Their explanation then was that it was because of the attacks that happened. According to them, a police post with few officers would be vulnerable to attacks. Therefore, in order to avoid them being overpowered by raiders, they were trying to collapse the units. This caused a lot of problems in that area. My constituency has the longest border with Somalia. There are no Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU) personnel. The people there have become very vulnerable. We have raised this matter with the authorities. So, I can also substantiate what hon. Shill has said – that AP units were removed from that area. Entire villages have no AP personnel right now."
