    "content": "(Mr. Ojode) Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, posting an OCPD is not a big problem. I have said, and I am on record, that in areas where we do not have OCPDs, there are certain things which we require. First, we wanted to have housing and secondly, any type of houses which we can convert to offices. I also said that we have taken some officers for a course, so that when these officers are posted, they will know the kind of work they are going to do. It is not just the Member’s place. There are several other places which are still waiting for the posting of the OCPDs. We will do that when the officers have already done their course. The other bit is the issue of vehicles, which my friend, hon. Mututho, cited. There are instances where a particular area does not have a vehicle. We normally do what we call a stop-gap measure where we get whatever we have in Nairobi, take to that particular area with the detectives from Nairobi and we apprehend suspects. In fact, that is what has really helped us even to get these suspects who were arrested recently. We are going to zero-in on the suspect who killed Talam. I also want to congratulate the work of the police because we managed to get the suspects immediately. So, I want to encourage my colleagues also to ask their constituents to give us information. That is why we introduced community policing. In fact, it is good that we introduced community policing with very good ideas from the former Permanent Secretary (PS) of the Ministry in charge of internal security, hon. Cheruiyot. You have done a good job. Keep it up."
