    "content": "What can we do as Members of Parliament to ensure that police officers enjoy human rights like humane housing? The NG-CDF Act that we passed provides that among the duties that NG-CDF may be funding is security which is the Police Force. How are we, as Members of Parliament, advising our respective Committees to channel funding to improve the lot of police officers who work in our respective constituencies? I am happy to say that the relationship between my office and the security apparatus in the constituency is cordial. I am then able to determine that police officers at Maseno, Bar Union, Holo, Kombewa and in other places live in conducive environment. Sorry, Kombewa is in Seme Constituency. We look at how they live and we advise our Committees to channel funding to improve their housing, offices and armouries. It is important. As we do that, I need to caution the national Government because lately, it appears to have left the responsibility of housing and building of stations solely to the NG-CDF. The NG-CDF can help, but it cannot be enough. The national Government must take its role seriously and improve the lot of police officers. The NG-CDF can only supplement. As it is now, the national Government seems to have left the responsibility solely to the NG-CDF with the meagre allocation that we have."
