The disgruntled police officer held that it is unfair for the government to spend millions (probably billions) to train and deploy police officers only for them to be taken advantage of, frustrated

Mwachi stated that it was unfair for the government to spend so much money to train and deploy police officers only for them to be taken advantage of.
