    "content": "thing from a law enforcement point of view? The law enforcement point of view is one side which must be addressed very effectively. But unless it is coupled with addressing the root causes of some of the problems that we are having, then we shall be getting nowhere. For example, even the security forces that we have, unless they are formed in accordance with our Constitution. Our Constitution, in Section 238(2)(d) demands that the recruitment by the national security organs shall reflect the diversity of the Kenyan people in equitable proportions. Section 246(4), on the composition of the National Police Service (NPS), states that the NPS shall reflect the regional and ethnic diversity of the people of Kenya. Are our law enforcement security agencies reflecting the face of the people of Kenya? Are we, as a people, addressing the issue of ethnicity and tribalism in the composition of the entire public service? Are we showing by example that we are now determined to do away with the issue of ethnicity and, therefore, sending a clear message to the people of Kenya that ethnicity is no more or are we providing a bad example to Kenyans that ethnicity still thrives? That is one of the causes of the problems that we have today and it must be addressed. The issue of security cannot just be tackled from top to bottom. It can also be addressed from the bottom. I agree with what Sen. G.G. Kariuki stated that Motions of Adjournment are there, but let us now have a way forward. With those few remarks, I support."
