The economy of Kenya cannot grow without proper security. As Members of Parliament, we need to be at the front in playing this role because many visitors who have visited this country sometimes back do not visit these days. The last time when I was in Mombasa in a big hotel called Whitesands, I only managed to see two Chinese families as the only foreigners who were there. We need to be serious on the issue of insecurity in this country.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the only worrying issue is the network of Safaricom which is not flowing everywhere in this country. However, to manage the challenges of security on the issue of equipment, I think Safaricom will manage.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think the Member is just biased. I say that can affect any institution. Even in his home, all is not perfect. As a Member, he needs to take this issue of insecurity seriously and all of us should be serious.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as a House, I can again repeat it that the economy of this country has failed because of lack of equipment - like what Safaricom wants to bring into this country to help us on the issue of insecurity.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, indeed, as a member of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, I am satisfied with Safaricom through the interrogations that we did. This is because we cannot even compare them with Zein, Yu or Orange. I think Safaricom has the capacity to bring in the equipment that will fight insecurity. I have been to America and security is taken very seriously and through the equipment that Safaricom wants to bring in here, even policemen in the evening will just be free managing the roads. But around the shops and other places, cameras will be ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was wondering how the Chairman was answering some questions. This does not include all parts of the country. There are other areas which are still under-developed, like Bungoma County. I always regard Bungoma as a marginalised county because there is no good development there. Sirisia Stadium should have been included in the list of those regions where stadi are being built. In regions like western, there is only one stadium. Areas which are already developed are still getting more development than other areas. They should consider areas which are not developed.

Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I also echo the same sentiments as my colleague, hon. Bowen, that the National Police Service needs their own independence. Ever since they have been under the OP, so many things have gone wrong. That is why we have a problem of insecurity. Sometimes, even when you go to the District Commissioners (DCs), they do not have fuel. That happens even with the police. That is why corruption is there. Sometimes, when a customer calls the police asking them to solve a problem, they will ask for fuel. So, the police should have their own independence ...
