• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: As we speak, majority of police officers particularly those in the lower cadres are living under deplorable conditions. Their conditions are deplorable to say the least. Therefore, even as we address issues to do with the Police Service, one of the critical things that this House or the next House needs to put emphasis on is the welfare of police officers. The idea that resources are not adequate to remunerate and take care of these officers can no longer hold water. This country loses a lot of money every single day through corruption. That is no longer news. We lose ... view

• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: the Commission to the Inspector-General of Police; powers which the Constitution had given the Commission - powers to transfer police officers.
