"content": ". They should equally look at the plight of police officers, who are suffering across the board. Some of them are frustrated by their bosses. An officer is assigned night vigil everyday because the boss has interest in his wife. These things are real. Some of them end up killing each other because they do not have a channel through which to report their plight. Their interior disciplinary mechanism is also manned by their very own seniors. Some of them schooled together and went through the same training. We need to move with speed and approve these names, so that these guys can go to the office and look at all the issues of the mwananchi, who is suffering. Police officers arrest young men for lack of an identification card. I do not know what kind of law they apply. There is also rudeness in the police service. A police officer cannot stop you and ask you good questions. He cannot tell you what you have done and explain the procedure to you. He stops you and starts harassing you. We need to stop police officers from using force unnecessarily. They should understand that this is a service. On the other side, the State should also know that these are our service men. The State should provide them with the right infrastructure and working environment, so that they can serve their country diligently."
