    "content": "We have seen a proliferation of exciting local talent and content on our now numerous television channels, from hilarious comedies like Aunty Boss to the educational entertainment offered by the Shamba Shape Up Show. I take this opportunity to salute our local producers like Dorothy Bosibori Ghettuba of Spielworks Media Ltd and Alison Ngibuini of Al Is On Production Ltd who have seized the opportunities brought about by digital migration, to create new jobs for hundreds of young actors, casting crew, videographers and editors. That is what we always envisioned. Speakers, hon. Members and fellow Kenyans, the Government’s most critical duty is to protect the lives and property of its citizens, as well as the sovereignty of our Republic. This task is today made more complex by violent extremism, geopolitical rivals, organised crime such as cybercrime and human and drug trafficking. I will be tabling, before the House, the report of the National Security Council (NSC) on the state of our national security, where I outline specific measures that have been undertaken by my Government to secure the people of Kenya. Allow me now, hon. Speakers, to focus on a few important issues that touch on the security of our nation. We have implemented specific strategies that deal with our security challenges and have made a number of cross-cutting multi-sectoral interventions. These include review of security related legislation, roll out of a collaborative approach to counter terrorism and an integrated command and control centre. We have undertaken National Police Service reforms, reforms to the national administration, immigration services, correctional services, peace building and conflict management, as well as citizen participation in security through our Nyumba Kumi Initiative. Our reforms include the Integrated Population Registration System, operationalisation of the Asset Recovery Agency, Integrated Border Management Programmes, inter-agency collaboration in investigation and prosecution, multi-agency team on eradication of corruption as well as regional and international initiatives. Specifically, hon. Speakers, we have increased the number of police officers by 10,000 in the last 12 months, with an additional 10,000 set for recruitment next week."
