    "content": "The other thing is that our police are not well equipped. Some of them go to risky places with just rungus . If they find the culprit has a gun or a pistol, they will run away. This must stop. The IPOA should ensure that we do not expose our police officers to risky places when they are not armed. I will take the example of Migingo. The fishermen in Migingo are left alone at the mercy of foreign policemen coming for them and doing whatever they like with them because the Kenyan policemen can only take to the heels when they see those from Uganda. The officers from Uganda are well equipped when those from Kenya are not. Therefore, it becomes difficult to box the Ugandan police officers when they come to attack. I earnestly ask that we fully equip our police officers so that we can have police that can protect our citizens. I know the response of our police has been too slow. Sometimes they are called when something has happened and they take long as the victims wait. They then arrive hours after what attackers wanted to do has been done. They need to change this. We are going to have a new team which should address these issues because they are important to Kenyans. Kenyans need peace, protection and they love their country. They need to enjoy being Kenyans by getting what Kenya can offer."
