    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Senator has brought me to my next point. I thank him for that information. We used to hear – those of us who were not there – that there are people who could sit in classrooms in universities gathering intelligence information for the Government. In terms of delivering in what they were doing and being efficient, they were successful. This may not have been positive, but they used to get information. Therefore, we have lost track on the NIS. If we had not, we would not put the KDF in Lamu or Pokot. We would have known these things. We must also be careful on how we train these people in terms of basic disaster management. One thing we know about reservists is that they are placed where they know best. They should know the geography of an area and where to go when something goes wrong. They should know when something bad is being planned. They should also have some basic training in terms of disaster management so that when there is no network in Kapedo or Baragoi where they cannot reach any communication, they can assist the situation owing to their training. We also have to make sure that the KPRs have the physical training to be resistant enough to the attacks that are taking place every other day. Most importantly, the vetting bit is very critical. A few months ago, I read something regarding Mandera where a police reservist had shot a 13 year old boy by mistake. The vetting must be very through so that we get the right people for the KPRs so that we do not end up with thugs or with people who may infiltrate our systems to know what we are doing. These are people who have better intelligence gathering. How would we recover from that? We would start to react and fire fight every time. That way, it will ensure that we have the right people. There is, of course, the issue of protection of the identity; the framework where their The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
