    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. It is unfortunate that in this era and time, we have people in towns and in bus stops moving around and stripping women. It is unfortunate. We need to curb it with immediate effect. It is sad that, up to this moment, no one has been prosecuted. I will just go straight to the issue of security forces. I want to say this with the experience as a politician and as a person who has served in the military; we need to take stock of our Police Force or the National Police. Do they have the capacity to handle the terrorists? For quite a long time, we have seen policemen being maimed. If police are being maimed and killed by terrorists, what about the common mwananchi ? It is, therefore, important for the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security and the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations to take stock and investigate thoroughly whether our Police Force has the capacity. We should stop the business of sending our KDF to intervene always. Let us equip our police properly. Let us pay them well. Let us give them medical insurance. Let us give them equipment and modern technology to fight terrorism and common crime which we have in the rural and urban areas. I think we will move around properly.
