They are poorly paid, housed and most frustrated professionals. Police officers are supposed to live in the best conditions because they protect all of our lives and security. As he rightly said, some officers are living in uniports left by the wazungu . If you visit some areas in Nairobi, you will be surprised. You cannot imagine how they are living. One other thing is that transfers are regular. When police officers disagree with their immediate boss, they are taken away to Turkana since they have nobody to protect them; they have no lawyers. Many police officers are now frustrated and even committing suicide. Young men who are graduates are poorly paid. They stay away from their families for some months because they are transferred to far places. For example, they could be transferred to Turkana and their family is in Wajir or Mandera. As a result of this, many of them have developed a mental illness. I support the statement that we must look into the conditions of the police officers."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to contribute to the statement on the welfare of police officers. Without belabouring the point, the Maraga task force put out a report that had been filed. We are used to writing reports, going to conferences and workshops to drink tea and taking photos. What we should be discussing is how far the implementation of that report is. That report touches on the social welfare, housing and everything we are talking about today in this Senate. I have heard Sen. Chute talking about housing and how a curtain splits two families. If you look at the suicide and gender-based violence within the police force, whether it is their spouses or the actual police officers, it is rooted in these conditions that we are subjecting them. Every time I go on social media, it pains me to see people write: “This police officer has done this or that.” Yet when we come here, we are talking about the insecurity in Eastleigh. Who do you expect is going to make sure you are safe? It is those same police officers that you keep attacking. At one point, it is not only the material things, but even the mental health of these police officers. We have to ask ourselves, as a society in this country, if we are constantly The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to support the statement by the Senator for Murang’a, Sen. Joe Nyutu, on the amputee football team from Kenya that was stranded in Frankfurt, Germany. I saw the images on social media and could not believe that the team we should be proud of and support was stranded and being helped by wellwishers in Frankfurt, Germany. I was wondering what programme they travelled on. Was there no facilitation for accommodation and the expenses they needed? I can imagine the preparation they went through in the country so that they could qualify for the world stage. Then, instead of appreciating and honouring them, we neglect them. Is it because of their physical situation? What is the Ministry doing? We keep saying we have the interest of young people and our sports people at heart. However, the grim image that we paint, even for the ones who would want to engage in sports, is discouraging. On the statement by Sen. Munyi Mundigi on police welfare, the Maraga report exposed all the rot we are talking about. The promotions and corruption are deeply rooted in the police system. We want to know the steps. I happen to be the chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations."
