    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this amendment by Hon. Peter Masara. The police are a very important unit in this country. We all need to appreciate the work that they do. We need to look at the issue of their salaries because there is no way we can support them if we do not give them enough money to take care of their families. The police are responsible for guarding banks. They are the first people to show up during exams. The situation they live in has changed and reduced them to beggars. These days, when you see a policeman, you start preparing your hand bag because they complain of njaa,njaa, njaa every time. They are forced to say that because of the harsh conditions they live in. Look at the houses they live in. Take a day and visit the police line where they stay. They have no bathrooms and toilets and, therefore, when you see them, you cannot help but sympathise. As Kenyans, we need to take care of our police and those that are taking care of us in terms of security because they are all suffering. Not everyone can do the work they do. Some of them guard banks during the day and at night, they are on standby to make sure that we are all secure. Hence, I support this amendment Bill. I would appreciate if all of us can come together and ensure that we take care of our police. We appreciate the work that they do. This very important Bill will ensure that we take care of the conditions of our police. Thank you for giving me the opportunity."
