    "content": "The ID card only shows that you are a Kenyan. But a police officer cannot demand that you show him or her whether you are a Kenyan or not. I remember that when I was a young man from the university, I was walking in Buruburu in 1982 after the coup de tat . I had left my ID card in the house. A band of police officers stopped me and I was alone. They asked me: \"Where is your ID card?\" I said: \"It is in the house.\" They said: \"We said where is your ID card?\" I said: \"I told you that it is in the house and you have no right to look at it!\" Then they looked at me again because I talked like somebody with some knowledge. I told them: \"I am a lawyer, but my ID card is in the house. If you want to come and look for it, come there. But let me warn you again that you have no right to ask me for my ID card!\" But not everybody knows that and police officers use it as a way of extorting money from the people. I want to talk from here, where God has given me a chance to talk for a while, that police officers have no right to harass our Kenyans."
