    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and Hon. Sheriff for the well thought-out National Police Service (Amendment) Bill. It is interesting as you have said that this is coming from the other side of the House. I think that is the spirit of the nation. What is good is good and the source of the information does not matter. We are glad that you have enumerated the cases which have prompted you to think of this Amendment Bill. I think this is very timely because we have lost young police officers who have left behind families which are hurting. Their children are not going to school because their breadwinners died in the course of serving Kenyans. This (Amendment) Bill is going to address the challenges that we face as a country. When we lose police officers, the loss is not just to the family, but also to the country. This is a person who has been trained using public money and taxes of this country. It is a loss to the nation. I am glad that you have come up with this (Amendment) Bill. We know those police officers who have passed on were breadwinners of their families."
