    "content": "Thank you. We need to address the issue of police brutality and come to a conclusive end. However, I still want to look at this problem from the police officer’s perspective. The police officers are not corrupt because they are greedy but because they are demoralised. The other day, I was shocked when one of the agencies suggested that we should reduce the salaries of police officers. I think that is absurd. We need to encourage and give morale to our officers. When you look at their housing and insurance package, I think these are some of the factors that make the police officers get into corruption. It is upon the leadership of this country to ensure that we package a Kenyan police officer in a manner that befits a human being. Lastly, I agree that our country is healing and we are committed to ensure that this is achieved. Nevertheless, we have seen other leaders in different quarters wanting to raise the political temperatures in this country. I would like to urge Senators, hon. Members of Parliament and leaders in different capacities in this country to lower the political temperatures and concentrate on the healing of this country. I thank you."
