    "content": "You can even go further. In the 60s, there were specific tribes in this country who were recruited to be police officers. There was a reason for that. We have gone against that. These days, we recruit everybody even people who have never seen the rough terrains of our country. There is a reason why we should have a Pokot as a police officer to fight cattle rustling. He is born and bred in those areas. He knows how to work. I can guarantee you that there is a difference between a police recruit from Pokot and a police recruit from Nairobi. There is a difference between someone who has been taking buses to school all his life and someone who has walked to school all his life. There is something in us human beings and we must understand that as a country. If we want to protect this country and fight the Al Shabaab, we must get people with the same life experiences and not educational experiences. We must get a Samburu who has walked to school for so many years, has looked after cattle and has seen cattle rustlers in his life. He can fight an Al Shabaab who is trained in the same terrain and has the same experiences."
