    "content": "legal framework. I think from the advisory that the Chairperson read from the Attorney- General (AG), clearly, there is no legal framework. Therefore, what is happening in counties is illegal. Secondly, there was the issue of training. Even if they are recruiting this militia or whatever you want to call them, my question was: What are the national Government and county governments doing in order to have uniform training for these officers? It is absolutely important that they get training even if they have to be recruited. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there have been many reports of these officers mishandling the general public in various counties. What measures are county governments putting in place where the general public can seek redress when they are aggrieved? That question has not been answered. I would like the Chairperson to respond to these particular issues that I have raised that I think are very pertinent. As a Senate, we have a responsibility. I am glad that you quoted Article 247 that gives Parliament only – not even the President – the powers to establish any other police forces. I think we must come up with a solution to that matter."
