    "content": "Mr. Kigen asked what action the Government intends to take regarding corruption in the police force. We have said that we do not want to live in denial. This morning, when I was speaking at the launch of the Strategic Plan for the Office of the Prime Minister, I did admit there is corruption. This corruption needs to be dealt with, not just in the police force, but across board within the Government. I also said that there some institutions which have been formed to help fight corruption, which are condoning it. We did accept that there is a problem with the police force. That is why we have set up a task force to come up with recommendations on how to reform the police force. We have already received an interim report from that task force, which we are in the process of analyzing and implementing. So, we will deal with issues of corruption on our roads. There are so many roadblocks on the highways which are doing nothing. They are nothing, but toll stations used by the police to extort money. In some parts of the country, they are so permanent that the grass has grown underneath them, yet they do nothing. So, I admit and want to assure the hon. Members that we will do something about it as soon as possible."
