    "content": "many of these children would choose police officers as their first career of choice. Most of the time the police force is taken as that which you choose when you do not make it to the university or when you do not make it to be a doctor or an engineer or any other profession out there. Yet these are the people that take care of the security of our country. When we get robbed at night, when we are hijacked, or get in danger, these are the people that we call. How come there are not as many people that are willing to be in this force as we would want them to be? It is about their welfare. How are they enumerated? How are they treated? As a public, when you see a police officer, what do you think of them? It is high time as a country we looked at the police as human beings that need as many resources as we do in our various professions. If we go to these police stations, there are hardly any recreational activities in those police stations. They are people who work almost 24 hours a day and there is no time that they can engage in any leisure activities. No wonder there have been an increase in policemen breaking into other people’s homes, committing suicide and killing their colleagues. I am hoping that these nominees we are appointing today, will not just go and vet police officers in the name of victimising them, but will look at the HR needs of these police officers, do capacity building, train them and ensure that they are facilitated to do and execute their duties as we do to other public officers in this country."
