    "content": "As this new commission is coming in, the police force is faced with a lot of challenges. I want to thank the Committee led by Hon. Koinange. They have done a very good job in vetting these nominees. We all congratulate them. However, I urge the Committee to also look at its oversight role that the money we allocate to the security agents of this country also goes to improve the welfare of the police. Our police officers are not taken care of. Our police are not motivated. We appreciate that anyone can serve in the police force. If you look at the accidents for example, that happen on our roads, some of these accidents can be so bad that you cannot even look at the bodies that are lying on the roads yet we expect our police officers, men or women to go and collect those bodies without gloves. There are small things that we need to change in the police force. This commission faces the challenge of improving the welfare of the police service. We need to motivate these people who are taking care of the security of this country."
