    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a valid question. It is true that as we approach recruitment we have extended the period of training from nine months to 15 months. Among other things, we are going to talk about human rights. We are going to have so many other things in the curriculum. On the issue of compensation, as I mentioned earlier, it is a legal matter. However, we will find a way of designing something, so that we know that if you get a problem while on duty you will be compensated, because you were doing duties assigned to you by the Government. We actually sympathize with what the police are undergoing. However, I would request my colleagues to support the work being done by the police. If a police officer kills a thug, there will be complaints by human rights groups, but if the thug kills the police officer, there will be no word from human rights groups. I would want a situation where the human rights groups talk for both. The police officers are human beings too. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would request all my colleagues to support the efforts of the police, because without the police we will not be able to walk freely on the streets of Nairobi. Let us support police officers."
