    "content": "are left devastated. There should be innovative ways of ensuring that the families get support, after an officer dies in the line of duty or while still in employment. The salaries of police officers is another welfare issue. Some of the issues may not be legislated through an amendment of an Act of Parliament. Others can be addressed through innovative ways by the National Police Service Commission. This will ensure that the welfare of our men and women in uniform, who we call police officers, is looked after. I support the Bill and believe much more needs to be done. The proposed centres will only look at issues of affected people or those who are most likely to be affected. Finally, I propose that after establishing county psychosocial support centres for police officers, we need to establish others in due course as resources allow at the sub-county level. This will ensure that police officers do not travel long distances to get services. We have some sub-counties which are too huge, and officers may not have money or vehicles to take them far and wide to seek these services. This is a good start, but with time, we can further devolve them to the sub-counties. The officers who will be employed at the county level can also provide mobile services to the officers at the sub-counties. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
