    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, our system has got problems. You have an Inspector-General of Police who cannot transfer one of his officers before he gets Kavuludi’s approval. You have an Inspector-General of Police who cannot recruit without the approval of the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA). Remember we recruited people some few months ago. To date, there are no police officers who have been recruited because IPOA went to court. They are using public funds to take another Government agency to court. We have laws which allow terrorists to be given bail and join the community to continue their terrorism. The police force is not well organised. If you go to your sub-county or district, there is a security committee which is supposed to be chaired by the Deputy County Commissioner, However, that Deputy County Commissioner has no authority to command, direct or consult the police officers. A Deputy County Commissioner cannot direct an Administration Police officer or a Kenya Police officer to respond to some situation. Our chiefs are earning for doing no work. We need to go back and support the equivalent of the Provincial Administration so that we can have some system up to the village level. If we do not do that, this country is going to go to the dogs."
