    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me begin by thanking the Budget and Appropriations Committee for its tireless effort in drafting this detailed Report. We also thank the Committee for having considered our recommendations as Members of the Committee on Administration and National Security. The estimates for revenue and expenditure for 2019/2020 have been submitted against a backdrop of increased economic growth rate of 6.3 per cent in 2018 compared to a growth rate of 4.9 per cent in 2017. Despite the growth, insecurity is noted to be on the rise with the total number of crimes reported to the police increasing by 13.2 per cent from 77,992 in 2017 to 268,000 in 2018. On the other hand, crimes reported involving dangerous drugs increased by 44.1 per cent. The number of persons reported to the police to have committed crimes also increased by 5.1 percent to 75,037 in 2018 of which Kiambu Police Command Station had the highest share of 8.4 per cent followed by Nairobi City at 8.3 per cent. We hope that our new Inspector General of Police (IG) will reverse this trend by working hard to reduce these numbers with the resources proposed in this budget.
