    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will start with the question raised by Sen. Munyes as to what the Government is doing. When I was reading the Statement, I said that the Government has intensified patrols in the affected areas and we have to wait and see how effective those intensified patrols are going to be in curtailing the killing of people in Turkana and other parts of the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, Sen. Karaba and Sen. Hassan all asked similar questions relating to compensation. I think when I was reading the Statement, I said that these people were not working for the Government and, therefore, there is no compensation which is due to them according to the laws of this country. They are the people who volunteer to do service for the community in which they live and also do a service to the country. It will be recalled that only a week ago, we passed a Bill here which says that reservists should be paid."
