    "content": "significant. Training your security forces to be impartial in a conflict situation is very important. One of the challenges we have in this country today is security officers that are partial and who do not take action when it is necessary. These people get better training when they are in that kind of environment. When we visited the UN recently, we realized that there are many other missions apart from the field missions where you are involved in peacekeeping. There are other roles that they play. For instance, at the headquarters, we realized that there is a huge office that deals with that. For the first time, a Kenyan Brigadier was taken there and that is the first time and yet we have been involved. I agree with Sen. Wako that as a nation, our participation in the UN or in international organisations at high level is very limited. We also have an advantage. One is the linguistic advantage that we have because our forces speak in English. That is the advantage we have because many countries have a problem with languages. Language is one of the tools that you require to participate. I think it is very clear that there are a number of advantages. It is important that the Government engages more with the UN to ensure that our forces get an opportunity to go out there to be trained, to be professionalised and to get into an opportunity where they can enhance their capacity. I support."
