"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, no wonder yesterday the President ordered all Government helicopters be under the military. If the military are being given uniforms, the police officers might decide not to fix their choppers when they break down so that they can use that money to buy uniform. If it is true that the KPS is being asked to buy their own uniform, Parliament must venture into uncharted territory and ask questions. Every year a lot of money is allocated to departments in the Office of the President, but they do not want to account for it. This Senate must enact legislation which will compel them to account for billions of shillings allocated to them and set aside 10 or 20 per cent to improve the life of the policemen and policewomen. I hope this Statement will be taken seriously so that we allow our police officers to do their job effectively. It is okay if they arrest us because they are doing their job. However, they are human beings. We must make sure their welfare is taken care of because they are our brothers and sisters. I support the Statement."
