    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to support this Motion. I support Boinnet’s appointment. He has been in the police force and knows the problems of the police. I beg him, once he is appointed, to make sure that when police officers are called somewhere, their cars have petrol. They need to be provided with proper facilities to serve the public. We have a big problem of insecurity. If you go anywhere in this country, even in hotels like the Mount Kenya Hotel, there are no tourists. They fear for their security. We are not here as tribes, but as national leaders. I am sorry for the Member who spoke before me and talked about Nyeri. We are all Kenyans and we should not think about certain places. We are here to support ordinary Kenyans, who are suffering very much. We have big problems because police officers have relaxed in their jobs. They do not have proper facilities and live in deplorable conditions. Mr. Boinnet is very experienced and is aware of the police problems. Therefore, he is going to improve the living conditions of the police officers. We have three police officers living in one mabati house. Some of these officers have wives in these houses while the others do not have wives. These officers will not perform. They think that we have neglected them, yet we want them to secure us. We should have a provision in the Budget to provide them with proper facilities. We should provide Mr. Boinnet with funds to enable him to improve the living conditions of the police force. If you have a farm and you do not have a fork jembe to cultivate that land, you will not harvest anything. We all know the problems in the police force.
