    "content": "Every Kenyan should feel safe when walking or stranded. When you see a police officer, you should not see an extortionist or a potential rapist. For that reason, we need discipline in the police service. I know it has been very slippery over the years because of this habit of picking one of them. When we brought in the Commissioner of Police, General Ali, from the army, people thought he was going to instil some discipline but it was very difficult to do so. It is because the Kenya Police Service has existed like a mafia franchise where they observe the code of silence; they protect each other in crime. There was a police officer in my place who used to collect money in the name of cash bail. For the last four years he has been doing that. The day the guy was transferred, he disappeared with almost Kshs9 million from the local people. The cash bails have never been refunded to the owners even after they have been to court and back. We do not want criminals in uniform."
