    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to oppose this amendment, particularly the bit on primary school qualification. We know that majority of the people in security service are Form Four leavers. Even the basic academic requirement for enlisting in the National Police Service is a mean Grade D+ in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). In terms of ensuring proper record management, it should be noted that some holders of Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) in the rural areas cannot even communicate. In this case, I wish Hon. Ottichilo gave a justification. Why are we talking of primary school certificate holders? For purposes of consistency, the basic qualification should be a KCSE certificate as is the case with the National Police Service. The qualification proposed by the Mover of the amendment will give us problems in terms of record keeping and communication. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
