    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to the Standing Order No.44(2)c), I would like to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding the status of facilities in police stations in Kenya. Most police stations in Kenya have not been facilitated with modern facilities and equipment to enable the police fight and deter crime as well as protect the citizens. Some police stations do not have vehicles while other police vehicles are mechanically impaired. In some police stations, a case study of Mlolongo in my constituency, have no patrol vehicles or a single vehicle that is functional. They only share one lorry which cannot run all the police errands. The stations have no proper cell amenities and suspects of all genders are locked in one cell. For example, when a female suspect wants to go for a short call, they are escorted by male police officers. In the Statement, the Chairperson should inquire and report to the House on the following:- (i) the status of all facilities at the disposal of police stations and the Provincial Administration in Kenya; and (ii) provide a comprehensive list of all facilities allocated to each police station in Kenya with special emphasis on the number of police vehicles for patrol. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
