    "content": " Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was talking about accommodation. We want to see proper offices for these officers. It does not augur well for a DC to live behind a lodging somewhere or perform his or her duties in an old chief’s office simply because the location became the district. We want offices to be built that will match the position of these officers. I am encouraged because I know some money has been made available under this Budget to put up some district headquarters. Another component of the Office of the President is the Internal Security. We all appreciate that the investments we see all over can only be possible if sufficient security is provided to investors, their investments and also to the citizens of the country. We owe this to our policemen. We sympathize with the conditions under which they work. Some of them have no accommodation and we want to see all these things improved. I hope that in the next financial year, the Parliamentary Budget Office will team up with the Ministry to ensure that sufficient money is provided to give our officers decent accommodation, living conditions and equipment so that they can perform their work. I also want to applaud the professionalism of the Kenya Police, particularly its leadership. However, you will recall sometime ago after the incident at Uhuru Park, I made a statement on the Floor that the police must find the killers of the people at Uhuru Park. I said that their reputation was on the line. Many months have passed and to date that matter remains the way it was. Nobody has been apprehended and yet people were killed. How come in Uganda it happened and the following day people were arrested? In fact, even our police are participating in the arrest of the suspects when they have not arrested any of the people who maimed and killed our people. That is a challenge. I beg to support this Motion."
