    "content": "One of the things which have come up and should be of big concern to these particular new Commissioners is the new activity which is going through the courts. If somebody dies in the hands of police officers, a lot of times, it is a case of misadventure. If there is a robbery and somebody who is far away or near that incident gets shot, the police officers are convicted for murder. From what we have seen in the Press, the Director of Criminal Investigation went through that experience. He almost lost his life trying to save Kenyans. This is a situation for most police officers in the country. It is a very serious matter. The police officer is likely to lose his life or the criminal loses his life at that particular moment. Guns are not used to scare or shoot in the air. They are used to secure property and lives of other Kenyans, beginning with the life of a police officer. In those instances, a lot of police officers have been convicted of murder."
