We end up having a reactionary system and not a preventive system and that is why we react when we have an incident like the Westgate Mall attack. I am sure at the moment, maybe our alert levels have gone lower. They will go high when there is a threat and then they go low when there is no threat. We have to keep it constant, not reactionary but preventive all the time. We want Kenyans to know that they are safe at every time and they can be protected all the time. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Motion envisages to put into place a security review. I think this is very important and I think certain things will need to be done as we go that direction. First of all, we need to look at the typology of crimes, probably since Independence. We should look at the most frequent crimes, try to find the data for that frequency, how many people have been arrested for those particular crimes and how many of them have been reformed and then we can go back and look at the systems and see where we have gone wrong. What are the reasons for the lapses for those particular crimes and what preventive measures have been put in place? Most of the crime statistics we get are for those who have actually had the bravery to prevent and to try to report for those particular crimes. Sometimes, Kenyans look at it as something ordinary because it is such a process to report and actually get the person apprehended. So you find that in many cases, many of the crime statistics are not accurate because the number of those who have not reported crimes is probably very high. The use of forensic is not very technical but most of the time we begin to patch things up at the crime scene and tamper with what happened. We need to use simple forensic techniques. Maybe this is where we need to encourage more people in the educational circles to get training in forensic science. How do we go to collect evidence at the site? We need the hair, the saliva and the nails. It is very possible to pinpoint. We do not want to be a big brother society; that we are being watched all the time everywhere. Sometimes the countries that have been able to secure those countries and make them have national security is because they have developed their “big brother”. So, you find that in terms of road carnage, people will not over-speed, because there are road cameras and if you are caught over-speeding, they are able to trace you through your address and you will have to pay a particular fine. So, that control is very important for this country. It might not go to the extreme of “big brother” but I think we can do the bare minimum so that people can begin to have a sense of security and a sense of safety for themselves and their children at any one time. Madam Temporary Speaker, we need to be able to audit who are our security forces. How did they get there? Did they get there because it was the only job available? Are they interested or what is the training like, are they motivated so that they can do better? We need to look at a job and see how it can be done even better. I beg to support."
