the situation. We have lost many senior officers in Turkana. Last week, we lost an Officer Commanding Station (OCS) at the border of Sudan and Kenya. We have lost many of them at the border of Ethiopia and Kenya. In fact, they are doing a job that should be done by KDF. Those are external threats.

Constitution has a broad definition of public participation although it differs in different sectors and institutions. To me, I do not think public participation needs more than a year.
