Every time officers are facing stress, they harm themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have formed NAWOPA and we will be having a merry-go-round table banking to ensure that there is food in the houses of our officers,\u201d Nikol stated.<\/p>\n<p>She added that the move would improve the performance of officers in their different stations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen there is food in the houses, the officers will be at peace. Even at their stations, they will perform better,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>On her part, Sorofia Simiyu, a founding member of the association, lauded the move adding that the group will also be open to widows who have lost their loved ones in the line of duty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWives of departed officers will also benefit even when their spouses are no more. The association will ensure that their needs and those of their families are catered for,\u201d Simiyu stated.<\/p>\n<p>The officials further added that their initiative would prevent cases of domestic disputes within their families.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe group will bring peace between officers and members of their families. Psychologically, the officers will also be relaxed making them work better,\u201d Leah Okelo stated.<\/p>\n<p>This move comes amidst the implementation of police reforms which were initiated by Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
