    "content": "What is happening in this country is shocking. I visited a police post recently. A policeman who requested me not to mention his name to his superiors because he would be dismissed told me that in his police post, the guns they have there have no bullets. He told me that if he went on patrol duty, the gun he would be carrying would have a maximum of three bullets. If that policeman encounters a thug with an AK-47 which can be used to shoot and fire while running and dive in a pool and come out and shoot, how would he resist? As we do this, the leaders and commanders of the army are the biggest real estate undertakers in this country today. You have seen what is happening in the vetting process. Some policemen have over Kshs70 million in their accounts. Others have flats everywhere. We are recruiting rogues into offices where we need decent people to do work to protect Kenyans. I said to the Ransley Commission, when they were doing their analysis on what to do with our police. I gave them the case of Colombia which my distinguished Senate Majority Leader must know. In Colombia, they disbanded the entire police force. They took the police men and women through a truth metre and recovered only one-tenth of the entire work force. They dismissed everybody, retained the one-tenth, recruited new policemen and crime went down by 95 per cent. Remember, that is the Colombia of Medellin; the Colombia of Pablo Escobar. Now, there is no crime in Colombia. We need to learn from those who have done better than us. Thank you."
