"content": "This is because in the past, transfers, disciplinary measures and so forth in the Police Service were done arbitrarily and at the whims of those in power. This of course created an environment of anxiety and unpredictability that could not ensure that Kenyans received the services they needed to get from the Police Service. As I support this amendment Bill, I want to confine myself to the welfare of police officers, which is very critical even as we proceed to the forthcoming and momentous general elections. Kenya is one of those countries that are yet to achieve the internationally required ratio of police officers to the citizens. I am told of late there are attempts to achieve that threshold. As we attempt to do so, we are not taking into cognisance the fact that these officers are not just mere statistics. The police officers are human beings whose welfare needs to be taken into consideration for them to provide optimum services."
