    "content": "In a small country like Namibia, whose economy is much weaker or smaller compared to Kenya, they remunerate the police officers very well. I was there, when I used to work with the United Nations. I can attest that Namibia police officers are not corruptible because they are remunerated well. We talk of the police officers being corrupt in our country. This is because we have ignored them. We talk of police reforms, but no one seems to pay attention to them. The insurance for our police officers is even more worrying. We have security officers who serve as our guards at our homes, particularly senior Members. When we talk to police officers, we get very very shocking information from them. Imagine your bodyguard takes a family member to a hospital and the insurer he has is dishonoured by the hospital. How do you expect such a person to effectively discharge their duties? These are some of the reasons which contribute to serious stress. We should not cure symptoms without looking at the cause. As much as we come up with programmes to support the psychosocial well-being of our police officers, we must factor in what is contributing to that stress. This is where the whole issue starts from.
