    "content": "safety on our roads. Without them, we would not have safety in our houses. These are the people who have made our country to be what it is because there is peace. Without them, there would be no peace, no industries and no tourists coming in. So, we would not be talked about as a developed country. For us to claim that we are developed and that we are doing well, it is important to perpetuate the idea of maintaining peace. This is maintained by the security officers and we should reciprocate by providing what is necessary to these people and that is nothing else than passing the Motion. We should have a group insurance policy cover so that once they are not here with us, their families and spouses are safe even after they die. That is the difference between us and some countries in the Arab world and in South East Asia. People are devoted to protect their countries. A country like China has 1.3 billion people and yet there is peace. How many soldiers are involved in maintaining that peace? What kinds of policies are maintained? There must be a very good system which makes soldiers feel at home and even if they died, their families would be comfortable. Similarly, we have problems coming from the Arab countries. These people known as suicide bombers are lured to do it because they know of their fate. After committing suicide, they know that all will be well with their families. That is very unfortunate because that is their character. In Kenya, we should compensate officers’ families as soon as they leave us because they have provided services to all of us. As I conclude, we should also remember teachers who work very hard. We are not opposing the Motion, but we should also include them because these are people who have done very well. It is a pity that after they retire, they do not get the benefits until after they have died. Those benefits are not there. So, we are asking the Motion author to consider, including teachers who from 1997 petitioned the Government, but did not succeed."
