    "content": "I also think that we have been talking about police reforms for too long. Up to now, that has not been done adequately. There is an attempt to house the police with community which is good enough, but I think more should be done in training them in community policing. In other words, when policemen bond with the community, they cease to be reactionary police force and become proactive police officers. That is very distinctive from reacting to a crime. It might take a while but we have to do it because these were the elements of colonial mind-set that you scare people by telling them to commit a crime and see, famously known as fanya fujo uone . Instead, we should be preventing the crime to begin with, not waiting for people to commit a crime in order to bust them. I think that is the essence of community policing. Bond with the people, get informers from the people and be proactive before the offence is committed."
