    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, another area that needs to be looked into is that of medical attention. This House should know that when police officers get injured while on duty, they depend on the goodwill of their colleagues, through their saccos, to raise funds for treatment. There is no insurance for police officers. We should, therefore, approve this nominee, so that he can present the issue of police welfare in the SRC. At this juncture, I would like to urge the SRC to look into ways of creating an insurance scheme for police officers or provide funds for construction of a referral hospital for them – a hospital similar to Forces Memorial Hospital for Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) personnel. Alternatively, we should provide for them a good medical scheme because they perform very dangerous duties. Police officers get injured all the time, as they perform their duties but they do not have any medical scheme. There is no provision for compensation for loss of life even as we speak."
