    "content": "In the new Constitution, we changed from “police force” to “police service.” So, we do not want the police to terrorise citizens; rather they should support them. They should be people you can run to for help. There is this whole issue of roadblocks and Probox and Sienta vehicles; and motorbikes owned by young people who are only trying to make a living. They cannot make a living because they are harassed. For example, between Kendu Bay in Homa Bay County, or Kosele and Oyugis, there are so many roadblocks. One wonders why. They stop motorbikes, chase Probox and Sienta vehicles into all manner of corners. We need to agree on this issue. Our children bought these vehicles to do business. It is not them who brought those vehicles into this country. Let them do business but within the law – they need to have a licence, insurance cover and adhere to the stipulated capacity of passengers per vehicle. Let all those things be outlined. It should not be criminal to operate some of these vehicles."
