    "content": "We, as a House, need to be serious when it comes to the issue of discussing Motions or Bills. Once they are discussed, can we follow them and ensure that they are implemented? We should stop being a House of kusema na kusema . We need to be a House of kusema na kutenda. Can we ensure that we follow up those issues so that the Motion on police officers and any other Motion that is tabled in this House is implemented? Lastly, the police officers in any country – I am speaking of Kenya here – need to be independent. They need to be a police force that works for the people of the country, and not for the current regime that is there to use to kill and throw teargas at supporters of the Opposition. They need to work for the people so that the people can also be motivated as we do right now, to fight for them. I support this Motion. As I have said, let us ensure that what we have discussed here is fully implemented. The police need to live in decent houses and be paid good salaries so that we can motivate them."
