"content": "When we look at Madam Muchiri and the general position of the police service, what she mentioned in terms of counselling, and speaking as a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, the National Security Committee sought some funding to support police officers in terms of mental ill health. What is happening is not an absolute position of ill health like admission in hospital. It requires some counselling and an explanation to the police officers on what is happening to them. Why are we seeing cases of an officer shooting themselves, their seniors and neighbours? These are challenging situations which simply call for counselling. The establishment of counselling should be through a corporate body. A commission which sets the rules on the social wellbeing of our officers will be a good thing. One thing we want her to emphasis on is how they will work on it through the SRC as a Commission."
