    "content": "Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In the initial statement that I made, I clearly sated about the progress of prosecution. Here, the Cabinet Secretary says that these people have been arrested. He has given their case file numbers. The matter is still pending in court. However as to when the prosecution will end, that depends on both the Director of Public Prosecution as well as the courts which are handling the case. I do not remember whether the other question which he required some information on, was answered. It was about national police reservists. I mentioned something about that in the previous statement. I do not know whether he was satisfied or not. Well, I will proceed. The establishment of the security officers does not provide for recruitment of home guards. However, if the Hon. Senator meant National Police Reservists, their recruitment and administration of the maximum member is vested on the National Police Service by Section 122 of the National Police Service Act, 2011. The reservists are recruited on need basis owing to various factors such as increased incidents related to banditry and cattle rustling which may vary from one county to another. That is the end of the statement. However, I am not satisfied, particularly when they say that it depends on various factors when 15 people were killed. The Cabinet Secretary has also mentioned that cattle are being stolen. If the Hon. Member is not satisfied, I will further pursue this matter."
