    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. Police officers are among public servants who are poorly paid and maintained. I had a chance to visit a relative of mine who lives in some tent near the country bus stop. I found that he was staying with his wife and another officer who also has a wife in that one roomed tent. So, two policemen were living with their wives in the same room. So, at times, they may have to compete on how they perform. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what a horrible situation to be put in! Just imagine that in that room where you are staying, Angwenyi is brought there with his wife to stay with you. Will you be a husband? Will she be a wife? Those days, most of the police officers are young. They are not like Angwenyi. When you go away, they may be attracted to the other young person and, therefore, mess up homes. A policeman earns Kshs17, 000 per month and a house allowance of Kshs3,000 per month. Where in Kenya can you get good accommodation at Kshs3,000 per month. Where in Nairobi or Mombasa for example? You cannot even get a bedsitter because it goes for more than Kshs10,000 per month. So, it means you use all your salary and the so-called house allowance to get accommodation for your family. How will you feed them?"
