Policy framework for police reservists engagement, training, remuneration and compensation

Motion text

THAT, aware of the crucial role played by the National Police Service in the provision of security to citizens; further aware that the number of police officers in the Service currently is way below the ideal number required to effectively cover all areas in Kenya to provide adequate security to Kenyans; appreciating the Government’s efforts to supplement the services of police officers with police reservists, especially in areas prone to cattle rustling; concerned that in spite of the immense contribution towards national security by the reservists, no form of compensation is given to them; further concerned that many of them are maimed while others die in the line of duty; the Senate urges the National Government to develop a policy framework for the engagement, training, remuneration and compensation of police reservists.
