    "content": "to suggest that there should be proper synergy among security apparatuses in the country, so that Kenyans can feel secure and be proud of our country. We have reasonably gained a lot of confidence in the Government in the past few years. There are certain gains we have made as a country, for example, devolution. We have gained a lot of development through devolution. We feel that we are part of Kenya as a result of devolution which was introduced by the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. Kenyans feel that devolution has done well in that region. What has been achieved through devolution has greatly surpassed what was there in the last 50 years. We have made these gains and we can continue to get more gains through devolution and other Government involvements in terms of development. But if security, which is a national government function, continues to operate at these levels of deficiency, then we are not likely to make any progress in terms of development. One thing I urge through this House is that we need to reinforce and build a formidable security apparatus in this region, so that we can continue to dwell in peace and development will be achieved. One thing we all know in terms of institutions and security is that the Government has made a lot of progress. There was recruitment of 10,000 security men and women in the last four years and each year we have recruited about 10,000 officers."
