    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is not only happening in his constituency. It is, in fact, happening even in my own constituency. However, what we do not want to hear is that the police are harassing those people for purposes of extorting money from them. I would want boda boada operators to take the personal numbers of any police officer who may harass them for extortion purposes, so that stern action may be taken against such an officer. I am saying this with authority because, as I speak, we have increased the salaries of police officers. So, there is no need for them to harass people for purposes of extorting money. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other issue is that of roadblocks. This is not the first time I am talking about permanent roadblocks. There are two issues here. There is what we call “permanent roadblocks”, where police officers block the road using spikes throughout the year. In this regard, we have said that there shall be no permanent roadblocks. We are, however, saying that roadblocks will exist, but on ad hoc basis; as and when need arises. As at now, police officers are doing a commendable job. I want to request my colleagues that we support police officers in order for them to deliver the services as required by law. Thank you."
