    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me start by congratulating Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo for the passion that he has for security both within his county and in the country as a whole. He has thought through by bringing the National Police Service (Amendment) Bill in order to be more relevant more targeted and to use a workforce that is already there, that can be harnessed and improved to ensure that security becomes something that we begin to experience rather than something that we talk about. In Kenya, the average number of police officers is about 70,000 to a population of about 40 million. That translates to about one police man to about 571 people. That is not a very good ratio given the sparse population distribution that we have across the various counties. This makes it very difficult for each of the security measures to be put into place. Considering that of late we have really had a challenge on security matters. We are moving further and further away from the premise that you can actually walk across a street peacefully and not be harassed or attacked. It is even more dangerous for women given the latest events that are taking place. Ladies can no longer walk within their country freely unaware of when they will be harassed.
