    "content": "Officers at weighbridges are not willing to even take promotions. If you transfer an officer or promote him or her to the position of Corporal and post them to, maybe Garissa or Kacheliba, they do not want that promotion. They do not want that promotion because they get better returns at the weighbridges. To the extent that officers are refusing to be promoted because they are getting money at the weighbridges, we need radical reforms. We need to benchmark with Rwanda. If you give money to an officer in Rwanda you will be arrested. Why are our officers taking bribes in the open? It has become advanced that they now use M-pesa . They make calls from Mariakani to Athi River and the M-pesa system is used to network issues of corruption. I want to sit with my colleague, Hon. Kamanda, and come up with radical reforms. It is no longer business as usual. I am not even sure whether the EACC has the capacity to deal with this problem. That is why police officers are always number one every year when it comes to corruption. We must kill this thing and decide this year and not next year."
