    "content": "In my own County, for example, I know of a young man aged 22 who is a university graduate. He went for recruitment and did everything perfectly. For all intents and purposes, he was number two in the whole exercise. They had to wait until 6.00 p.m. when the people who were doing the so-called recruiting came out and read names of people who, for all intents and purposes, had not passed. During the recruitment exercise, the young man’s parent was asked for Kshs50,000 if the boy was going to be taken. I have the names, qualifications, addresses and details of two young people in my own county. This story can be replicated everywhere in Kenya. The best thing that can happen in this country today is to nullify the whole exercise and start it anew. The wrong people to recruit people into the police force are the police themselves. We have the NPSC which can get hold of the counties. Within the counties there are people who know about recruitment of human resources – the county service boards. Provided that they have the guidelines on what to do, they can do this recruitment independently. I would recommend, for example, that the county service board of Kisumu County should go to Kiambu and recruit people there and those from the county service board of Kiambu should go to Kisumu, so that we have objectivity and fairness. At this rate we are perpetuating corruption, nepotism and abuse of power in the police force. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to request the Chairperson to tell the Chairman of the NPSC to cancel this whole exercise."
