    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I wish, from the outset, to support this Motion as amended and equally thank Hon. Waluke for having brought it. No doubt, security is very important for the political, economic and social development of this nation. It is true, as stated in the Motion, that officers are trained with taxpayers’ money. It is important that, having received such training, they give back to the public. If this Motion sails through and is implemented, it will serve so many things. First, it is likely to maintain a stable force. We are going to have a stable force within the country. Secondly, if the Motion goes through, issues of remuneration related to the offices and their welfare will equally be taken care of. I have to mention that it is everyone’s desire to go for greener pastures but where the Government has spent a lot of money in your training, it is expected that you give back to the society. It is important to point out that, as a result of so many officers leaving the force, we will always cry of shortage of officers. There are so many constituencies and several counties where to-date we talk of lack of officers. Therefore, security gets compromised by the day."
