    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to support the statement from Sen. Munyi Mundigi. The police officers in this country live in a pathetic situation. They are poorly paid, housed and most frustrated professionals. Police officers are supposed to live in the best conditions because they protect all of our lives and security. As he rightly said, some officers are living in uniports left by the wazungu . If you visit some areas in Nairobi, you will be surprised. You cannot imagine how they are living. One other thing is that transfers are regular. When police officers disagree with their immediate boss, they are taken away to Turkana since they have nobody to protect them; they have no lawyers. Many police officers are now frustrated and even committing suicide. Young men who are graduates are poorly paid. They stay away from their families for some months because they are transferred to far places. For example, they could be transferred to Turkana and their family is in Wajir or Mandera. As a result of this, many of them have developed a mental illness. I support the statement that we must look into the conditions of the police officers."
