"content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, may I refer you to Article 239. We have the national security organs clearly set forth and defined as the Kenya Defence Forces, the National Intelligence Service and the National Police Service. Of course Article 240 deals with the National Security Council. Article 241 defines the Defence Forces and the Defence Council as the Kenya Army, the Kenya Air Force and the Kenya Navy. For purpose of intelligence, we have Article 242, which deals with the National Intelligence Service. For purposes of internal security, we have Article 243 dealing with the National Police Service. We have two levels of the National Police Service. Under Article 243(2), it is stated clearly that the National Police Service consists of the Kenya Police Service and the Administration Police Service, whose command systems are defined. Of course, the Police Service Commission is provided for under Article 246. Where is this misnomer called the “Kenya Police Reservists (KPR)”, which we are discussing and seeking to legitimise by giving it money and facilities? Hon. Deputy Speaker, as I seek your firm directions on the issue, I take note that we are talking about security. Hon. Members will have chance to contribute."
