    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I was saying could he allow me to remove one feather from my hat, as mtetezi wa wanyonge, and give it to him. This is because these are lowly placed members of society, but who contribute immensely to the security of our people. As they say, all politics is local; may be it needed a local leader from the local community to appreciate the challenges that these Kenyans go through. As I congratulate him, I want to also condemn the Jubilee Government for the way they exercise selective justice. We all remember that last year, the High Court scrapped the recruitment of thousands of youth who were to join the police service because of corruption. Punitive action has been taken against those youth, but nothing to date has been taken against those police officers who received bribes. The centres where bribes were actually given were tabulated and Kenyans gave complains, including parents from Malava and Lukuyani sub-counties in Kakamega County. The officers who were recruiting at such centres have not been arrested so as to surrender that money at the very least to go back to those parents, it is very pathetic. It speaks of a Government that abets corruption and does not care when the rich steal from the poor. My final contribution is to pay tribute to junior Police officer fresh recruits who upon finishing training were deployed to Kapedo and they lost their lives. In the same vein of not caring about mtu mdogo, the Government has not up to date taken any action against the senior police officer who chose to deploy newly qualified recruits into harsh terrains to face hardcore criminals. With those few remarks, I beg to support"
