    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this matter is very serious. I think the Chairman of our Committee is very much aware that all the reports that we get from the officers cannot be legitimately questioned because we do not know beyond there. What I am trying to drive at is whether the Chairman is convinced that what he is telling us today is not what he used to tell Members of Parliament some years ago, for example, that they are going to mobilize their forces, recruit more people and do a. b, c, d. Could he assure the House that something really is going to be done over this matter because it is getting out of hand? Under our Constitution, today we are not going to ask a Cabinet Secretary to give a Statement on the Floor of the House, but if a person responsible for national security comes here and gives an answer, we need to be extremely careful because it is a very serious matter. Therefore, I urge the Chairman to tell us whether if they recruit 20,000 police officers in Mandera or Murang’a, they are going to change or they are the same people that we know. They are now being accused of being involved in crimes. What facts do we have?"
