"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of police failure to ensure the existence of law and order in Kenya as their main mandate has been with us for far too long. The Kenyan Police is identical with police brutality, corruption and perpetration of crime. In Vihiga County, the police are very efficient in pursuing chang’aa brewers, harassing boda boda and matatu operators, while allowing criminals to operate with impunity. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is need for the Inspector General of Police, in conjunction with the Independent Police Oversight Authority (IPOA) to take decisive and firm action against the above vices in the service. Allegations of police working with criminals should be investigated; and the concerned officers dismissed and charged with their crimes. However, it should not be assumed that I am condemning the entire police service. There are so many police officers who are doing a superb job."
