    "content": "and chai from police officers. It is not their fault, but because they are not contented. We hear very many cases of love triangles and suicide among police officers. Their wives are not contented in their houses. Police officers are never at home and they cannot provide for their families. That is why some of their wives have to look for other means of survival. As we pity these officers, let the 12th Parliament bring change for them. I understand some Members here do not have bodyguards, not because they cannot find one, but because they seem to be a burden. You get a bodyguard who does not have a house or food. So, you have to give him Kshs1,000 every evening or the following day. I pity some Members who do not have bodyguards yet. We have a situation of police officers who cannot take anything home and look like beggars. I beg the 12th Parliament to bring change to the welfare of police officers and improve the kind of houses they live in. These should not be incentives, but increasing their salaries from Kshs17,800 to, at least, Kshs50,000 for them to be comfortable and take care of the many Kenyans who need security and their services. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
