    "content": "constantly on the rise and close to Kshs100, 000. I am suggesting that the Committee considers the proposals on free education recommended by the Kilemi Mwiria Report. Four, when I look at insecurity, it is something that has given us problems in this country, particularly where some of us come from – the pastoralist areas. We have been complaining and adjourning the business of the House to discuss the issue of insecurity. I remember last year we proposed amendments to the Police Service Act. We introduced Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs), and said that KPRs should be mainstreamed in the Act. On page 25 of the Report, the Committee recommends the leasing of vehicles for police and administrators be moved from the National Treasury to Ministry of Interior and Co- ordination of national Government. That is fine, although we need clarification on who the vehicles will be hired for. Are they for the Officers Commanding Police Divisions (OCPDs) or the people on the ground? My view, in terms of policy, is to recognise that KPRs, according to the law passed in this House are mainstreamed into the police service. For those of us who come from Pokot and Turkana counties, we know that the Kenya Police Reserves (KPR) have been very crucial and important in providing security for us. It enables us not to blame ourselves. As others look for cameras in towns, let us have the KPR. I am pleading with the Committee through the Chairmanto consider that in this financial year as they develop a Bill to address the issue. It is very critical. Page 24 of the Report talks about the land sector. The Committee has put a lot of consideration, this time, on the National Land Commission. It is very clear that there has been a problem, a quarrel or a fight between the Ministry of Lands Housing and Urban Development and the National Land Commission. The committee has allocated more money to the National Land Commission. Let it be very clear that people are not getting title deeds and even when they get them, we do not know whether the titles should come from the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development or from the National Land Commission. People who want to buy land and houses are confused. I urge the Committee to talk with the Parliamentary DepartmentalCommittee on Lands so that the mandates of the National Land Commission is properly recognized, the way the Chairman has done."
