    "content": "grants that are meant for the two facilities have not been given. My plea would be to the Controller of Budget to make sure that the conditional grants, which were ring-fenced by this House, are delivered to those facilities. Most of those facilities are in pathetic conditions. The administration teams of those facilities are working under very difficult circumstances. The amount of money that they raise through cost-sharing is not enough to enable the facilities to provide sufficient services to Kenyans within those areas. It is the responsibility of the Controller of Budget to make sure that those two facilities receive their money, so that they can provide services to deserving Kenyans within that region. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the other great thing that happened today in this House is the passage of the National Police Service (Amendment) Bill, No.18. In this Bill, more often than not, whenever I go home, the Kenya Police Reservists (KPR) have been asking me: “ Mheshimiwa, how soon will the Government take responsibility and also give us some uniform and good ammunition, so that we can protect the lives of our people?” Those are Kenyans who have been working under very difficult circumstances, protecting lives without getting anything. This is an important step that this House has made today; to make sure that those gallant women and men can be given ammunition, uniforms and even some remuneration through the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). The SRC can award them something that can sustain them."
