    "content": "Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice to this very important Bill. I congratulate Sen. Khaniri for bringing this Bill to this House. First, Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to emphasize on the importance of this bill. Various counties in our country have different law enforcement officers, as it was said by the Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko, and that they have different names which are not in line with their functions. It is my suggestion that to create uniformity among these law enforcement officers who have been messed up by several people, particularly the governors--- I saw in the last regime during the campaigns where this group of people was abused so much in an attempt to protect their governors. By extension, they said that they were protecting their jobs. We saw a lot of distraction and abuse of human rights by these particular people. I want to suggest that if possible, they all be referred with one name like in the case of the police. We have the Kenya Police all over the country. It is my suggestion that all the county law enforcement officers be given one name. It is also my suggestion that their training be uniform. I have seen some counties training some of them for two months while others train for three months and the only work that they are trained to do is matching. Other things such as basic laws, arresting people and the rest do not exist. A curriculum for training these people should be proposed to create uniform training and by extension, uniformity when it comes to their functions, the extent and the limits of their roles.
