"content": "Regarding insecurity, yesterday, I talked about the Baringo, Turkana and the Kerio Valley region. As much as I applaud the President for directing that the 10,000 new police recruits report to the training colleges due to a shortage of officers, there is also need for the National Police Service to be given their own budgetary allocation. If it were not for helicopters availed by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), deployment of personnel would not have been possible. That is because the NPS helicopters are grounded. The NPS does not have a Vote of its own. We have appropriated Kshs67 billion to the NPS through the Vote of the Office of the President. Money has been lost in scandals such as Anglo Leasing and what PAC was investigating. This time round, we want the police to have their own money to respond to such crises. If there is one point in Jubilee Manifesto which they have failed to deliver, then it is security."
