    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, in Israel, the people who normally fight are the reservists. They can mobilize over 100,000 reservists within a day. I think we should emulate them. We do not have to give them thanks all the time but as one of my colleagues said; that we put them in camps, we do not need to put them there. We should construct armories so that in case of an incident, they can rush and get armed. They will get communication and vehicles when incidents happen. Reservists are the backbone of the security of Israel. We do not have to send our military forces all the time when we have reservists. This is especially so in our areas where the terrain is bad. We need reservists because they know how to negotiate the rough terrain. It is unfortunate that we lost quite a number of our soldiers in Kapedo but the situation could have been better if the reservists were sent there because they know the bandits and the terrain. If we had armed them properly with skills, they would not have had that tragedy. Also in Baragoi, we lost quite a number of our soldiers because they did not understand the terrain. Most of our young soldiers in the Regular Police, the Administration Police and even the Kenya Defence Forces, are young boys who have just completed Form Four. They have never faced even a lion or a hyena in the bush, or even walked 10 kilometers on foot. Reservists are the ideal people to negotiate those terrains. I fully support this Bill and want to see how much the National Police Service can give these young people. They must conduct training first, supply them with necessary weapons, vehicles, communication and uniform. With those few remarks, I fully support the Bill."
