The security of any nation is a cardinal issue for any Government. I am sure that the stability of any country will be much appreciated if the people plus their property can be protected. I am saying so because, if there is any issue that is nagging Kenyans today, it is that of insecurity.

If we take the Police Force, in as much as they have done a good job and they are, in fact very much appreciated, there seems to be no control, especially at the police stations; officers have actually forgotten their roles. I have a case in point from my own district and constituency, where I have complained about police officers being used by criminals to harass innocent people. They arrest people for the offence of robbery with violence when there is no case of robbery with violence at all.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a case in point where a police officer is engaged in burning of charcoal, thus degrading the environment. When cases of cattle theft are reported, the police are not there to follow up the issue. This is an issue I have even brought to the attention of the Police Commissioner himself.

In fact, I wish that in the Development Vote they could get more money so that they can light Kenya more than they have done at the moment.

Still on REP, I would like to request for a small clarification. On the allocations for 2009/2010, they have put all the constituencies and the amount of money. However, the amount of money is varying. We do not know what criteria was used to do that allocation. We do not know whether it is the same criterion that was used for CDF, where some constituencies get more and others less. What I saw in my constituency is that I am getting a little bit less. On the CDF side, I am also getting less. I am told that the level ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Roads the following Question by Private Notice.

(d) In view of the shoddy work done, could the Minister undertake to withhold payment until the contractors have done the job satisfactorily?
