"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, my view is that this is a very important issue that we are canvassing here. It cuts across the 47 counties. What Sen. Wetangula said is true. Those cases are there and there is rampant corruption in the recruitment. We have seen policemen being vetted and dragged through the mud and yet nothing comes out of it. Why can the relevant Committee of the Senate not summon the NPSC and the IG and whoever is responsible for recruitment to come here and tell us all those issues; why it is happening, why every time there is a recruitment people lose their lives and are misused? In the olden days, for example, in Murang’a where I come from, we had very brown teeth due to the high level of fluoride in water. If that is a reason to disqualify a person from joining the police force, it is ridiculous. We may canvass these issues here and not get the answer. The Vice-Chairperson may not have the answer. Why can the Chair not direct that the relevant government officers come here and give us the answers, once and for all?"
