"content": "then we are still doing it the wrong way. We should change the method of recruiting. The current one is very discriminative. If you discriminate somebody because of height which is natural, then I think it is discriminative in nature. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we cannot also forget that there are emerging issues in the country. This is where you see the society or Kenyans becoming hostile. This is indicative of lack of policy or proper method. There are many incidences of mob justice that are going on in our country. That means that law enforcers are not doing their duty and, maybe, Kenyans are becoming desperate. These are some of the areas that we need to tackle. Another emerging issue is where you see the society or the civil society confronting the policemen. In the old days, you could not dare approach a policeman and start fighting him. However, it is happening today. That means that the society is changing and if we do not change the way we police, then we are going to lose the war. There was a time I witnessed a boda boda rider being stopped by a policeman but he did not stop. Instead, he accelerated. That means there is no justice weighed between the two. If I stop and I do not have anything in the pocket to bribe the policeman, the best thing to do is to run away. At times, I might be forced to leave the boda boda behind."
