    "content": "making work easier. In addition to surveillance cameras, we have also established the command and control centre, expanded police training facilities, acquired police vehicles and motorbikes to enhance mobility across the country. We have enhanced connection of Integrated Population Registration System (IPRS) to agencies and launched the e-passport. We have improved police welfare, continued construction of housing units and recruitment of more police officers hence, improving on police population ratio, among others. We are also prioritising the provision of decent housing for our disciplined forces. To this end, I am pleased to report that we have already signed a Bilateral Framework Agreement between the Government and Shelter Afrique. We are negotiating a financing agreement with the African Development Bank (ADB) and other partners that in the first phase, will see the development of 20,000 units of police housing within 24 months. The construction will commence in October this year. Once Phase I is underway, we expect to concurrently launch additional phases with a view to conclusively addressing housing gaps for police and other disciplined forces which is estimated at over 100,000 units currently. We have achieved much towards reducing incidences of security in the country and we will not be complacent. Our security modernisation programme will continue to fully assure both domestic and foreign investors and Kenyans in general of safety and security of their lives and investments. In addition, we will enhance security operations especially in areas prone to crime, build capacity for effective and faster investigation and build coordination among security agencies with strong partnerships with communities. Accordingly, I have allocated Kshs124 billion to Defence and the National Intelligence Service (NIS), and Kshs140 billion to the State Department of Interior and Coordination of National Government."
