    "content": "the ones we are talking of in Turkana, Marsabit and other places are poor people looking after their goats. They have volunteered to defend those communities but where are the police and the CID? Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in my view, this group must be absorbed in the cadre of police even if it means we create that cadre in this Parliament. I want to agree with the hon. Member from Turkana who said that regular police would not want to go after cattle rustlers. In the old days, the people we recruited into the police force had a calling, nowadays they join because they need employment. You have to be a form four leaver to be employed as a police officer. Before we had Administration Police (AP) who were under a chief. These were local people who knew the terrain and who could fight. That level or cadre is now missing and that is why people are asking for KPRs. Maybe it is time we created a national cadre of police who are paramilitary to protect our borders. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and I support this Motion."
