    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This police officer was actually working in a police station which is next to my mother's house, Kanyanyiane Police Station. I watched some of the videos where this police officer walked to a bus stage and literally beat people up with a very huge cane, and clobbered anybody who did not give him the money he was demanding for. I watched those videos. When the Committee retreats, we want to know whether the police service has a psychosocial support unit, because he did not even look like he was on his normal day, a sane moment. He seemed to have been going through another set of--- I do not know what the doctors would call it, but we want to know whether the police service actually has a psychosocial support, because transferring such an officer does not give answer to Kenyans. You cannot transfer trouble from one police station to another police station. That must be handled and the help that is needed for such an officer must be given. We would like to hear what kind of a structure the police have put in place, because the welfare of our police officers, has been demanding attention from their housing to their welfare. We have had very many police officers shooting one another in police stations. I do not know what kind of frustration they are going through. Mr. Speaker, Sir, however, if it is about salaries, housing, welfare and how they are being treated by the public, it is high time that the report that was given by the former Chief justice (CJ) Justice Maraga, is made public, and the implementation of all the dissolutions that are put within that report are also looked into, so that we do not just have reports without implementation of the action that is laid down in that report. So, we would like to hear--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
