    "content": "It is time we called back our forces to defend the citizens of Kenya. They should come and secure the citizens of Kenya and the boundaries of Kenya. You can imagine where we lost 28 lives of Kenyans last week, there was a KDF camp not long ago. It was removed only a week before that incident. On the issue of funding for the security docket, the National Police Service had a Kshs70 billion allocation in the Budget approved by this House. The Kshs70 billion is administered from the Office of the President. When you go to the Inspector-General or the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) to ask for a police station in your constituency, they have to write a letter to the Principal Secretary, Office of the President, which is a very serious matter. We brought an amendment to this House and the President rejected it. So the President himself is part of the insecurity in this country. If he cannot allow the police to have their own funding, how can they operate? There is no equipment. There is no proper training. You saw what happened in Kapedo. The cattle rustlers were more trained. They had superior weapons as compared to what the police had. We want police training to be moved from Embakasi to Kapedo and such other areas. We have seen young men being brought up in Nairobi, going to school at Makini and they are trained in Embakasi---"
