    "content": "them recommend NPRs to county governments so that they can get some pay. This will enable them to work even harder. We have some security camps that we have built using the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) money for instance Kang’irisae AP Camp. We built it four years ago and to date, we do not have a single Administration Police officer in that camp. We are, therefore, challenging the CS in charge of Interior and Coordination of National Government to ensure that we have soldiers in those houses other than using resources of the public to build a facility that is not being used. On the issue of the Department in charge of Correction Services, many prisons are congested. I will give you a good example of Lodwar Prison. It is very congested to the level that the wardens have no place to stay. I am challenging the CS in charge to ensure that such places are well funded. The CS should ensure that they build houses for our wardens. I urge the CS to consider building houses for staff of Lodwar Prison. With regard to the Ministry of Defence, I would like to congratulate the KDF officers for what they did two days ago. They killed Al-Shabaab forces. We should ensure that our KDF officers are supplied with all that they need particularly modern equipment. We should be aware that the Al-Shabaab have advanced in technology. We, therefore, want our defence forces to ensure that they are ahead of Al-Shabaab in terms of technology and modernisation so that they can protect this country from the enemy. With regard to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I have travelled with this Committee to several missions in this world. If you visit some foreign mission offices and the staffing levels, you will be shocked. Our image out there is not good. If you visit our embassies abroad, you will be shocked to see that seats in those offices are about 10 years old. We are challenging the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to improve our image outside this country. What people see in our embassies create a perception of how our country looks like. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should consider refurbishing our embassies and equip them with modern equipment. To comment on the State Department for Basic Education, I am shocked that Hon. Members have rejected some amendments. Turkana University College is a small college. It was set up last year. If these leaders would like to see Turkana County grow in terms of education, they would have approved that money for Turkana College University. However, I am shocked that these Members who represent people cannot consider such an amendment."
