    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, first of all I want to say that I am in agreement with Sections 33, 88(4) and 110(1) of the Act, but on Section 112(1)--- I beg to move:- (a) in the proposed amendments to the National Police Service Act, 2011 (No. 11A of 2011), by deleting the proposed amendment to section 10(1)(g) and substituting therefor the following- Provision Amendment s.10(1)(g) Delete and replace with the following new paragraph— “(g) determine the distribution and deployment of officers in the Service in the rank of Superintendent and below;” New Insert the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (g)— “(ga) recommend to the Commission and the County Policing Authorities for distribution and deployment of officers above the rank of Superintendent;” We have consulted widely and confirmed that most of the Kenya Police Reserve Officers normally join this service when they are about 25 years old. Letting them serve for only five years will deny the Government the services of very energetic and experienced National Police Reservists. Let us push it to 10 years. We can re-engage them when we want. Most of them will be serving in volatile and hardship areas of Suguta Valley, North Rift and North Eastern. So, we need people who are hardened and experienced."
