    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious Question. The Assistant Minister knows very well that police officers get peanuts. They are charged with the responsibility of bringing peace to this country. I have got two pay-slips of two police officers. One is an Administration Police corporal and the other one is a police sergeant. A corporal gets a basic salary of Kshs13,800 and a medical allowance of Kshs495 as he has correctly said. He has a April 5, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 425 housing supplementation of Kshs1,650. That is it! You and I know very well that, if they are attacked by malaria, those officers cannot afford to buy a drug known as coartem. Coartem costs Kshs700. If those officers are affected by typhoid, a full dose for typhoid, which is cyproxin, goes for Kshs7,000. So, tell me whether that police officer will be alive if he contracts typhoid. When police officers are out there patrolling the streets of Nairobi or anywhere, in the event that they are shot dead while performing their duties, not a single penny is paid to their next-of-kin. They are not insured. In the United States of America (USA), soldiers are insured to the tune of US$25 million to US$30 million."
