    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I also want to make a general comment. Firstly, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security needs to sit down with the various heads of security agency formations, including the Inspector-General of Police and other security agency leaders. There is a serious disconnect between the citizens and the police. A few months ago, we saw a crowd of people chop off the hand of a police man somewhere in Narok County during an incident there. Yesterday, five people were killed by police officers. There is a need for the National Police Service to come up with a policy on how police officers can work well with wananchi. Secondly, we also need to sensitise our people to respect the law enforcement officers. I understand that it is when a police officer’s life is endangered that he can use his firearm. By so doing, police officers sometimes end up killing innocent people. Therefore, as a country, we need to look at how we can have our police work together and provide security and service to our people. The citizens should also obey the law enforcement officers."
