    "content": "It is also my hope that the IG will consider bringing back the uniform that used to be there for the police. Our policemen and policewomen used to stand out when they were in their white and navy-blue uniform. The colours were bright as compared to the current one. I also want support what Sen. Ogola talked about; mental issues. Cases of domestic violence have been quite high among police officers. It is my hope that the new IG will ensure that proper motivation and counselling is accorded to our police officers because they play a very critical role in this country. As Senators, if we were in an environment that is not conducive here in the Senate, it would definitely be a challenge for us to deliver on our mandate. I hope the IG, Eng. Koome, will work on giving our police officers a good working environment in order for them to deliver on their mandate. Can you picture yourself living in those shanties? Those shanties are quite discouraging especially for those officers that live with their young families. On matters deployment, we hope that the IG will look at how long the police officers are deployed in remote area. Lastly, I want to emphasize on the need of putting up new police stations. I know that we have some public land utility in Nairobi. I have participated in putting up police stations in Nairobi, and I know Kenyans always support the process by offering space for construction of police stations. I encourage the IG to allow more police stations to be put up and ensure that the required facilities are in place. I support the nomination of IG Eng. Koome."
