    "content": "I would like to urge this team to approach the work from a reformist position. We talk about police officers on our roads or in the market. It is not right for us to wait for somebody to make mistakes all the time and then they are arrested. I wish IPOA could be proactive in terms of closely interacting with police officers in their daily operations, so that they understand their work deeply and appreciate the conditions in which they operate. That way, IPOA will be able to guide police officers to deliver the desired service of protecting wananchi and their property. I would like to see a more organised and proactive National Police Service, courtesy of IPOA. This Authority should be able to articulate to police officers what exactly they are supposed to do and how to do it. The Authority will also be communicating the same to the public. That way, we will have a serious watchdog that will not be waiting for police officers to land in indiscipline problems only for the Authority to reprimand them. The Authority will not be helping Kenyans if it operates that way. Today, we are promoting the sort of leadership that is collaborative, that seeks partnerships and that comes up with ways and means of solving all the problems that face our community."
