"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I too rise to support the approval of names as presented to this House today. As my colleagues have said, I also note that there is a 50-50 gender balance in the names as presented. I hope and believe that in future, all other appointments will follow the trend. Secondly, I wish to note that there are pending reforms. I believe that once in office, the members of IPOA will expedite all the reforms not only for the sake of services to the people of Kenya, but also to improve on the many teething problems that the police force has experienced over the years, notably, housing, which has been mentioned by many of my colleagues. I do not have to go through that again. There is also the issue of outstanding promotions that have been a problem and caused a lot of discontent amongst the police force. Thirdly, there are issues of salaries and their working tools. Not to belabour the points that have been mentioned and also not to take too much time seeing it is already 6.30 p.m., I support the Motion."
