    "content": "circumstances, due to the onset of the Al Shabaab, to use the other armed forces. However, it is the police that should do it. In order to be effective, maintain security and fight corruption, we need a police force that is contented, has enough numbers, that can be where we want them and that will act from their hearts because they are serving. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I know that bonding them will retain them, but the best way to retain people is to improve their working situations. If you look at the current situation - and I know it has been said but we can repeat it - it is a problem unless we solve it. The working conditions of the police are deplorable. We know about their remuneration. It is not good. There are structures we have created, like the Independent Policing Oversight Authority, the Police Service Commission and the police service itself. We have not harmonized them to work properly so that the police can feel that they are appreciated and work well. As I have said, many police officers are trying to do other things to make ends meet."
