The challenge of corruption remains supreme. You can easily buy off security agents to do your bidding. A very good example, even if they are mere allegations, can be proved with the NYS saga, including the Banking Fraud Investigation Unit of the National Police Service. Going by such assertions, some officers were just on payroll of people who were doing the wrong things. This cartel-like behaviour has compromised our security. Kenyans will agree with me that for them to get justice in police stations after they are attacked, they have to give out some money, more often than not. The response, therefore, becomes very minimal. Therefore, there is need to have that motivation. Otherwise, I want to note that of late, there has been increased security in our country. We are not being attacked as frequently as before. Even when there are attacks, we can see some response that we can be confident with. It would also be important for our security agencies to ensure that they inform members of the public about some of the threats they have successfully thwarted, not necessarily to profile themselves, but as a way of ensuring that there is confidence building, so that people can feel secure to do their businesses and go around with their daily activities for the betterment and development of this great nation. I support."}
