    "content": " I will get Hon. Junet. Thank you. I want to support the recommendation by the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on the appointment of Elizabeth. First of all, her appointment to the SRC actually drives us closer to meeting the requirements of Article 27 of the Constitution. She is not just a professional and a qualified person. She is also a woman. We know how Parliament is bedevilled. We did not succeed when we tried to enact the two-thirds gender rule. We have an opportunity, through the Committee, of moving Parliament closer to meeting that requirement. I also sit in the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations and I have come face to face with the plight of police. They are people who work hard, but are not properly remunerated according to the work that they do and they live in poor conditions. Ms. Elizabeth Muchiri’s role in the Salaries and Remuneration Commission will be a national role. I am happy that she will be representing the police. She will bring to the fore the plight of police officers who need the focus of the country. We have experienced a lot of insecurity situations in this country. Many Kenyans have lost lives not because the policemen are weak, but because sometimes they are not properly equipped and motivated to do their job. When Ms. Muchiri sits in that Commission, I know these are the issues she will bring to the fore and discuss them alongside the plight of other Kenyans in other spheres. For that reason, I support. Thank you."
