of leaders and the Government to counter youth radicalization in terms of providing youth empowerment. Road safety was a threat as a security measure but now it has come down by about 33 per cent. Eradication of corruption: Corruption is endemic. Corruption is a major threat to our security. Why do I say so? Corruption is in the centre of our political body. Unless we deal with corruption, both in the security sector and in all public and private sectors, Kenya will not join the middle income nations. Restructuring of the former Provincial Administration as envisaged in the Constitution, the ...

Initiative was meant that Kenyans can police themselves; Kenyans can know their neighbours; Kenyans can know their business colleagues in the neighbourhood; Kenyans can offer information and Kenyans can play a role in the creation of a more safe and secure nation. Two, there was a creation of a multi-agency national disaster response unit because when an incident happens, whether it is terror or any other crime, we do not have a strategy. So, a multi-agency national disaster response unit was established. A modern national command and control centre was established. For the first time, a forensic laboratory was unveiled ...

The problem is bigger than the police officers. The problem is social. We have a moral problem in our country. This is a serious challenge to our religious leaders, be they Muslims, Christians, Hindus or Jews. They must ask themselves what is happening. A three-year old girl was raped. I am not sure if it was in Nyeri County. It was on television last night. It was in one of the counties. She was raped by her two uncles. You want to ask: What happened to the neighbourhood? What happened to the mother who left her three-year daughter? This is ...

The other one is inadequate resources. Before I even go there, you saw when the President went to Kapedo, in a serious public rally, a Senator stood up and said: “Mr. President, we thought we were killing Turkanas”, and he was not arrested. He said: “Mr. President, we thought we were not killing your police officers. We thought we were killing Turkanas and home guards.” He said that in front of the public and in front of the Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces. The life of a Turkana, Pokot or any other Kenyan is important. This is a leader ...

nation. It is not about the blame game. It is not about President Kenyatta, Kimaiyo or ole Lenku. A number of terrorist attacks have happened during the period when the President tabled his Report. What has this Government done? That is why I feel the pain. For the first time since Independence, this Government has invested heavily through the assistance of the National Assembly in the security sector in order to enhance security surveillance, peace building and conflict management. I watch people on television saying that we need to allocate more resources. No! I totally disagree. For the first time ...

However, if the President will be dealing with security every morning and evening--- The country recruits 10,000 police officers every year. Today, our reformed Judiciary has decided that we are not going to recruit. There were very few areas where there was corruption and the court cancelled the whole of it. What about those innocent ones who ran and won to be members of the Police Service? Who will pay for their justice? You are paying the justice of the few who lost their positions because of corruption. What about the guys who won fairly from very poor families? That ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to contribute to this debate. On the outset, I thank you for your ruling on the issue of the delay of the Report but I agree with you that this Report must be debated because it is a matter of procedure. In future, I think the House Business Committee (HBC) should see how they can fast-track this particular Report. I want to say that the issues discussed in this Report that the President gave to us as a House are very pertinent. They are issues touching on our security---
