Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are two points I do not want my colleagues to lose me on. One is that, this Report as it is on the page of recommendations, is not satisfactory. It cannot be supported as it is.

I have given my way out. I have said that I aim to achieve two things out of that Ksh11.4 million of taxpayers’ money that has been spent. One, nail the culprits. Secondly and most importantly, we live in this country and there is nobody else that will make decisions for Kenyans. There is nobody else who will rescue your counties to ensure that they at least get services, although it is difficult to get value for money in this project. This Report has failed to address issues of ensuring that the machines are working, that we get what we ...

Some of these technical issues include where certain counties, after signing the contract, have not gone ahead to build the spaces where this equipment can be used.

Failure to satisfactorily get a way out of the answers, I am willing to exercise Standing Order No. 58, which will force me to wait for another six months or to convince you because that Standing Order allows you to vary. I do not have to wait for six months. In the worst-case scenario, if this Report fails today, we can still do our amendments as you had proposed in a time, less than those six months.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a very important issue that Sen Cherargei is bringing to the attention of the House by way of Statement. The identification of a police officer is not only by uniform. I would wish that Sen. Cherargei had included in his Statement, which I want to request that it be added as a further issue to be discussed in that Statement by the Committee that will handle this matter. How do you identify a police officer, yet it has become the culture and behaviour of our police officers not to show their identification nowadays? ...
