    "content": "I support this Motion. The challenges of the police are everywhere in this country. Right now, as you may be aware, the police are somehow on a go slow. In my constituency, for instance, you will find that the police are not being responsible for the challenges of insecurity. There are certain sections of my constituency where reports have been taken to the police about theft, robbery and many other cases in the constituency, but the police’s response and attention is lacking. One of the ways to address and motivate the police across the country is to ensure that we address some of these challenges that we have – housing, welfare, resources, wages, etceteras so that we can have a police force that can respond to the needs of Kenyans. Lastly, I would like to see a police force that is not political; a police force that does not answer to the whims of those in power; a police force that will be resistant and would not be very fast to maim and be used to kill supporters of the opponents. Then, we will be having a country that is really addressing the needs of Kenyans. The Constitution does not envisage a police force that is working contrary to what we expect. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support."
