    "content": "not doing well. We have so many centers of power. When you have many centers of power, I do not think we can go anywhere as far as security is concerned. We have the Mr. Kavuludi-led Commission. We have another one called the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA). We also have the Inspector-General of Police who cannot do anything because the commission will not agree to his way. Where are we heading to? If we have a house and the husband is a boss; the wife is also a boss and the child too is a boss, who is going to help the other? We need to sit down and ask the Executive to set up proper security structures. We are crying about 28 people. Talking about the bus that was attacked by militia, why was it allowed to leave without security in the first place? Why was that driver not arrested to say the reason why he left that place without security escort? Why did the driver decide to pass a different route instead of the one which people know unless there was something he knew? The other police officers who died in Baragoi are our children. So, what have we done on that? We just said we were going to help them. We went there and even sent our army there. We are not doing anything about the guns that were lost. We are here crying, what about the people who are outside there? We want to tell our Government that it is high time we changed the structure of the Police Service. We know that there is the head of the Kenya Police and the head of the Administration Police (AP). If we are not going to have the Administration Police, we are not going to go anywhere. The Administration Police officers are near the people. We know police officers do not have enough equipment because the money we are giving them is peanuts. The houses they live in are pathetic and you are telling them to come to protect you when you are living in Karen! How do you think those people feel? We need their welfare to be looked at so that they also feel part and parcel of the Government. However, we need to have a proper structure. I do not know what the National Police Service Commission is doing. How can you keep a goat and a lion together? The lion knows how to hunt but the goat does not know. So, Kavuludi does not know how to manage the disciplined police service. He has never gone to the ground."
