Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we must consider passing this Motion so that police officers do not leave employment before the expiry of 10 years. I am sorry to state that the force is not motivated at all. They are crying out there for a better pay package, better welfare and good working conditions, housing and respect for families. For the last 10 years alone, the Government has been a victim. At one time, it was reported that 17 officers from one station had resigned from the Service. That was just one case that was reported, amongst others, in the country. ...

One of the reasons I brought this Motion is because there is something loose in the Act. Most of the officers are leaving their jobs because their contracts with the Government are not binding properly. That is why a recruit can finish his or her course and is The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

allowed to leave the force or even apply for resignation within 34 hours. That is why we have a shortage of police officers in this country. In the military, a recruit is given a contract of, at least, nine years before they think of resigning. In the police force, it is just loose because an officer can apply for resignation and is permitted to resign within 24 hours or three months. That is causing shortage of police officers and thus, insecurity in our country. When some of the officers resign or are sacked, they go home and become thieves. I ...

Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for also giving me this chance to support this. I want to thank the President for trying to revive Mumias Sugar Company (MSC).

People have been taking us for a ride and time has now come that we are not going to be used any more. This is the time that Western Province should be revived economically because our people are poor. On this money, I support and ...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute on this issue of the retired teachers. These teachers have suffered for a very long time. Since 1997 is a long time and some of them have died without getting their pension. Let me thank the Government for participating and ordering that they get their pay. Out of these retired teachers who are affected, there is one who was my teacher in primary school. When he sees me in Parliament he makes sure he comes home. He has been coming to my home all the time disturbing ...
