    "content": "could easily attack and take the guns. We are telling the Government to secure its weapons before it secures the police officers. Why does the Commission employ professional Kenyans if it does not have enough money? The reason why we go to school is so that we can acquire skills and improve on our careers. Those officers with degrees and have decided to join the Police Force are not desperate. In the Police Force, we need people who are informed. For someone to write a statement for an MP, they have to be informed. He or she must have papers. But why should you underpay them? So, for us to ensure that the police officers are motivated and they offer services to Kenyans in the right manner, they must be paid adequate salaries, probably, even more than that of MPs. There is no problem with that because there has even been clamor to have the MPs’ salaries reduced. Let it be reduced to their satisfaction. We do not care because we are sacrificing. We did not come here because of salary. We are here out of sacrifice and to represent our people."
