    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, some of the conditions to be considered before you are recruited to the police force are archaic in the sense that they do not seem to consider Africans as potential soldiers. Imagine when somebody is said to be 5 feet 8 inches tall. What happens to the Taita who are about four or five feet tall? We also recruit police long after the students have left school when they have already “tasted” so many things such as drugs. Why do we not consider recruitment to the police force immediately the students leave Form Four, by which time they will not be polluted and they will be keen and will have known what it means to be patriotic soldiers. Lastly, why do we not recruit the police from the National Youth Service as a way of commendation to those youth who have done very well in carrying out national tasks instead of having direct recruitment as it is now done?"
