    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I would like to condole with the families that lost a son from my constituency – Mr. Chrispaul Ng’ang’a. We empathise with them. It is good we are discussing this now because I think this country has over the past, maybe two to three months or so, been embroiled in these security issues. First, I want to stand to support this Motion. It is very important. The Motion actually seeks to have the KPR well armed with valid documents, uniforms and some salary. I support that because as a colleague has said the police are not willing to engage in these fights. The bravery of the police is low. Even during the horrendous Westgate acts that took place on Saturday, the police that got there were not willing to enter that building. Even members of the Asian community proved that they were more courageous than the police and it took a long time for the police to even report. Those who knew that there was a terrible thing happening at Westgate decided not to go there. It was only after the intervention of the Kenya Defence Force and the General Service Unit (GSU) that the police began to appear at Westgate."
