"content": "have risked their lives and some have been killed. These policemen have done a great deal of job. However, at the same time, I just wonder whether our police force is capable of fighting organized crimes if the crimes which have already been committed in this country are anything to go by. Therefore, as we talk about enacting legislation to fight organized crime, I think we must, at the same time look at our police force. Is our police force able to detect crime? The ability of the Kenyan Police to detect crime and even to prosecute it to conclusion is in question. Therefore, as we pass this Bill, we must consider, very carefully, whether the Kenyan Police force is capable of investigating, detecting and prosecuting. This is why I welcome another Bill or even the proposed constitution that creates the position of Prosecutor General who will be prosecuting some of these crimes. Prosecution in this country has been wanting. Most crimes go undetected and when they are detected, they are not properly investigated. When they are investigated, they are not properly prosecuted and, therefore, you end up with criminals being let loose. Therefore, I am advocating for strengthening the Kenya Police Force. We need to equip it adequately to be able to detect, investigate and prosecute successfully. With the Prosecutor-Generalâs office coming up, I have no doubt this can be done."
