    "content": " Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to support the appointment of Elizabeth Wangui Muchiri. I have taken time to go through her CV and I can confirm that this is a very well educated lady and an experienced person. She is exposed to issues of governance having worked in the Office of the President in the US Embassy and other places. Wangui Muchiri is a relatively young Kenyan. I believe she has what it takes to serve in the Commission and give the best contribution in that Commission. I have in my office worked with women and I have even given them managerial positions. I have seen them execute their mandate very well and I have come to believe that what men can do also women can do. I want to agree with the rest of the Members of Parliament here who believe that Wangui Muchiri will do a good job. Also her being a nominee representing the NPS, I believe she will go there and sort the welfare of the police because these officers are very demotivated sometimes. I can remember just recently when we were told that those police officers who undertook higher qualifications, that is, those who went ahead, took loans and acquired degrees will not be promoted. For sure they have not been promoted. This is a demotivation to them because even those that had been promoted earlier on had their monies recovered and they are being told to return the money that had been paid before. This is pure demotivation and I believe these are some of the reasons why some of our police officers are killing themselves and killing others. I want to support the appointment of Wangui Muchiri. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
