    "content": "The other thing that I want to say here is that there is a challenge of the regular police and other security officers manning areas that they do not understand the terrain. So, the KPRs have come handy in helping the regular police and the other forces to pursue cattle rustlers when they strike. There is also a challenge of where livelihoods are got from in these regions, where the regular police cannot be following people to attend to their daily livelihoods. You cannot ask regular police officers to be escorting women and men to herd their cattle five, ten or 20 kilometres away from their homes. It is a challenge. First, they are not enough, secondly, they do not understand the terrain and thirdly, they cannot understand the lifestyles of the people there. This is the reason why the KPRs have been found to be effective. This Motion seeks to motivate these people. Whether we want to arm them with automatic firearms or not, they already have them. They are issued with G3 Riffles and we are asking whether they can be motivated. Can they be given allowances, uniforms and documents that recognise them as KPRs serving the people of this nation? I support this Motion wholly."
