Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the living conditions of police officers - sometimes I feel - leads to the problem of corruption. We say policemen are corrupt, but many Kenyans are naturally corrupt. There are those who are more corrupt than the police. Police corruption is of Kshs50 or Kshs100, but there are those who are corrupt to the tune of millions and millions. Corruption can be perpetuated through the remuneration that those officers are given. If you go to our police stations, you will find somebody living in a small hut made of mabati. I am sorry to say that. ...

During the time of recruitment, like it is going to happen tomorrow, everybody looks for money to give to those people. They want to get that job because it readily pays. Whoever is assigned the duty to go and recruit; that is the day to make a kill from parents who are desperate to bring their children. Why? It is because of that small remuneration they get. Therefore, recruitment also brings in corruption. If one has already paid his way through the recruitment--- One Hon. Member here has read a message which has been sent that so much money is ...

took a loan or borrowed money from a shylock and it has to be repaid. How do they repay it with their meagre earnings? They go out there and perpetuate corruption. This one has to be looked into seriously.

You have to buy your way even for promotions in the Police Force. We fight for them to be compensated when they are injured, to get proper insurances and to get proper housing. But unfortunately, they go out of their way--- You cannot be promoted if you have not given out some token. You cannot be promoted because you do not know “Mr or Mrs who is who”. Nepotism is always perpetuated. The Police Force is full of it. You find somebody has stayed in one station for many years while another one is taken to lucrative offices where they ...

Those vices culminate to the problem we have in the Police Force. Therefore, as we enact this Bill that will put proper measures to compensate officers in death or in life when they are maimed or not, to look into their families, look at proper housing, take care of their families when they are not there and better conditions of living, they should also get proper training so that it is commensurate with what we are giving them.

Another issue that I would like to mention here concerns deployment of policemen. The way they are deployed by their seniors is haphazard. You will find in one roadblock, 10 police officers standing there and in another corner of the country, some people are being molested by thugs, cows are being stolen and things are not happening. They should be posted where they can give proper services.
