    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sorry for that. My brother, I am sorry. What I wanted to say is that as we were growing up, I happened to have been very lucky that I met Eng. Koome when he was the Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) in Kisii. At that time, I was a student and the history he left behind in Kisii is quite substantive. He is a highly respected man. However, the work ahead of him is substantive because the police service every year ends up maybe being the last department of Government that is highly corrupt. There have been issues raised about the welfare of the police officers. I hope that when Eng. Koome takes over, he is going to start looking at the welfare of the police officers very seriously. Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, some of the houses where the police officers stay is unbelievable. You find two families sharing one cubicle. The conditions are inhumane and should not be allowed. I know in the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF), where I have been as a Member of Parliament (MP), we have done quite a bit. We tried building houses for police officers and managing some of what they needed. As my colleagues have said, the issue right now in Nairobi City County is insecurity. Everyone is talking about the excessive amount of violence that has come up."
