    "content": " Mr. Mungatana asked us to adopt medical options, and how many doctors we have to test these officers. Right now, we have agreed that apart from the Government doctors, at the time we do recruitment, we will hire doctors to help us in the institution. So, that will be taken care of at the time when we undertake recruitment. Mr. Baiya asked about the medical conditions of the employees. We recruit doctors into our institution; we are also building our hospital for the police. We will subject our police officers to use of the facility; among the things we will check will be some of the diseases related to the brain. Dr. Laboso asked whether it is the living conditions which are bad. This is not really the case. We have tried very much to avail housing units to every police officer. The situation is not as it was before, when they were sharing a one-roomed house. We are trying to ensure that every officer has his or her own room; we do not want to house them together as has been the case in the past. We have used a lot of money. We have used close to Kshs298 million in rural areas. We have also used Kshs780 million to construct housing units for police officers in Nairobi and we are extending to other cities like Mombasa and Kisumu. So, as a Ministry, we are trying to make sure that each and every police officer retains his or her own private house."
