    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I thank you for giving me the opportunity. First of all, let me start by wishing you and hon. Members of this House a very Merry Christmas and a happy 2015. I think in spite of the arguments that have been traded across the Floor, today, in my view, this House has started the process of taking tangible steps to address the problems of the security sector. I believe as we reach the Third Reading stage, we can embrace a bipartisan approach so that the amendments that we seek from this side can be incorporated so that we move forward. I think the problems bedevilling the security sector in Kenya are much bigger than just the laws. Like I said in my contribution, I think we must address the bungled police reforms. We must address the issues of poor integration of the Administration Police (APs) and regular police. The horrendous and demoralizing conditions under which the police live is still a question to be addressed. On integration, I feel that the Somali community in this country needs to be integrated more in our security sector, particularly on intelligence gathering. It is a shame that up to now, those who are gathering intelligence in Eastleigh are people from up-country and not the Somali community.
