"content": "pity that the police officer was sacked for staying beyond the days he was given by his boss. He became so depressed and resorted to drinking. Today, his family is suffering. Another problem the police are facing is housing. They are living in deplorable conditions. You cannot expect somebody to work for this country so well when his welfare is wanting. To improve the police service in this country, we must look at their welfare also because good service is two-way traffic. Unless we improve their welfare, it is impossible to get good service from them. I salute CS Matiang’i for coming up with new uniforms for our police officers. Otherwise, you could see by the look of their uniforms that they were desperate. Some of them continue donning very old shoes and uniforms. One could tell that they were suffering. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is high time that the IG looked at the welfare of our police officers with the aiming of improving it. We want them to serve the nation with integrity and accountability. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the appointment of this gentleman. The country expects a lot from him."
