    "content": "We have already heard from the Member for Marakwet East talk about the Suguta Valley where we lost over 70 people. We have lost over 40, 50 and 60 people in Todonyang severally not once, not twice. Nadapal at the border between Kenya and Sudan, in Liboi the border between Kenya and Uganda--- These are the dynamics or the scenarios that we are talking about. We have lost lives, property and livestock. We have redirected our energies as leaders from these regions to security and surveillance. I was in Turkana during the recess. I spent all my time running from one place to another after being told that there is an attack here and there, instead of inspecting development projects. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the population of this region that I am specifically talking about is diminishing. It is not because we do not know how to make babies, it is because our men spend all the time outside doing surveillance and security which is supposed to be done by the Government itself. It is because families are always on the run, there is no time to settle and do things that are happening in towns from Kisumu where hon. Kaluma comes from. What were are saying, we need more KPRs to be recruited, we want them to be remunerated well commensurate with what they are doing to the communities. We want to discourage illegal arms by legalizing the arms they have so that they do not misuse them. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have heard many cases of policemen, both the AP and the regular police killing each other in their camps over girlfriends and alcohol but we have not had a single case of a KPR shooting another one. So, there is no misuse, these guys, in any case, have had guns for a long time. So, I support the Motion."
