    "content": "In Kitui County, we have suffered a lot as a result of some of these police reservists who are not disciplined. The Government has given them arms to protect their people, but they go beyond their boundaries and harass our peaceful people in Kitui South and Kitui East. While I support this Motion, we need serious vetting of police reservists. They should be vetted by either elders or religious leaders in their areas, so that we can get people who are serious and who adhere to the rule of law. As I said yesterday, in Kitui South we have reports that about 5,000 people are already in the forest neighbouring Tana River and Kitui South. Those people are armed and have now started harassing our people in Kitui South. While I support the Motion, I seriously think that police reservists, in addition to being given arms, need to be given some soft skills, so that they can become more of peace promoters and not people who just harass Kenyans who have no problem with them, and who are not involved in cattle rustling. With these remarks, I support the Motion, but the amendments which have been proposed by hon. Nkaissery are important and we need to bring them on board."
