    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to join my colleagues in thanking the originator of the Motion, Sen. Muthama and Sen. Orengo who also added more value to the Motion. We, as a nation, have not been able to look at the up of the eye of the people of Kenya keenly. These are the officers who serve as security forces in this country. You know this is a wide area. It includes the police, the General Service Unit (GSU), the Administration Police (AP), the prison officers, the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) et cetera . I do not know how the officers in the National Intelligence Service (NIS) are taken care of here. However, we have not done very well in looking after the families of our officers who die in the line of duty. Those of us who come from the periphery of Kenya, near the border of Kenya and Uganda, see the miseries some of our officers stay in, in the process of keeping our security at the border. If one of them dies, it is so painful that we quickly forget about them. Even when they are alive, we have tortured them as follows: That the houses some of them stay in, in the course of dispensing their services and protecting me, you and every other Kenyan, are deplorable. The only thing that is catered for fully is the uniform. It is only from the uniform that you will know that this is a serving police officer. If you come to Nairobi, for us to have peace at night, you should see the work they do. They patrol throughout the night while we sleep. Look at our roads during the rush hour. These officers have become the solution to the traffic mess in this country. It is a pity that we The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
