Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to request for a Statement from the Leader of the Majority Party over the increasing incidents of insecurity in Trans Nzoia County. Over the weekend, a Police Reservist by the name Masika was shot dead in the night. There are also complaints from the residents that the top leadership of the Police Force in the Trans Nzoia County, about 70 per cent, is from one ethnic community. We have cases of policemen who have stayed there for more than five years.

Thank Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. Job evaluation does not deal with individuals but with positions. So, we want to correct the perception out there that the job evaluation is about Members of Parliament. This is an office and Sarah Serem should know very well that when it comes to job evaluation, you do job analysis and come up with the ranking of the office. The current Members of Parliament will go and other Members of Parliament will come. Some of the factors that are considered when doing job evaluation are: Working conditions, academic backgrounds and decision ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I need some clarification from the Leader of the Majority Party on what is going on in Trans Nzoia County. We know that security is very critical as far as investors are concerned. Before that, I would like to congratulate the Government for supplying four vehicles to Bungoma County. Right now when you come to Trans Nzoia County, particularly to Kiminini at a place called Kiungani, we have had leaflets. What is the Government doing to counter the threats contained in those leaflets?

Two, in Trans Nzoia County we only have one vehicle that the Officer Commanding Police Station (OCPD) is using. What is the Government doing so that we can have more equipment? Lastly, we know that as far as security in this country is concerned, the buck stops with the Inspector-General. We have seen things in the newspapers. Could you clarify the roles of the Inspector-General and the Chairman of the National Police Service Commission? It seems they have overlapping roles? Maybe they are contributing to the insecurity in this country.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, Sir. It is not that I have the instructions from the Leader of the Majority Party on this matter. I, however, rise to second. Indeed, this Bill is very important. When you look at the functions of the county governments, we do have problems at that level because of lack of funds. To me, this is coming at the right time, but my problem is that, unfortunately, we are not going to give it the attention it acquires because of lack of committees. My humble request is that as we move on, we need to do ...
