By CHARLES WANYOROMore by this AuthorAn MP from the ruling Jubilee party has said he supports the move to reduce the number of police officers guarding politicians and other high-ranking government officials in order to boost security operations in the country. The Imenti North MP Rahim Dawood said the lawmakers’ office requires that they mingle freely with wananchi and only the President and his deputy needed armed protection. He asked why many MPs and Governors complain of inadequate armed security yet majority of them campaigned without the security officers. If you are going to serve, then you don’t need armed security and chase cars. Allocation of armed police and chase cars to guard VIPs is a waste of resources that should be channelled to alleviating problems facing common mwananchi.
