    "content": "50:50 ratio in this House. We do need to support that because those are our daughters, sisters and mothers. We need to have a ratio of 50:50 by having a lady and a man in each constituency in this country. Apart from that, I believe IPOA needs to also address issues of working conditions of policemen. They are also not enjoying the environment in which they operate. Possibly, that is why they are stressed up and they harass members of the public. Imagine policemen sharing houses. I once visited my brother working somewhere in Embu. Although they had beautiful houses in the AP camp, every room in each of the houses was occupied by an officer with their families. Each bedroom was being occupied by a family. The sitting room was also being occupied by a family. With such kind of an environment where there is no privacy and nowhere for the officers to relax, how do we expect police officers to perform? The IPOA should act as a trade union for the police officers because they are not allowed to join trade unions. The IPOA should articulate the issues of police officers to ensure that their working environment is improved so that they can concentrate on their work of providing security in this country."
