    "content": "Eng. Koome joined the police force among the first graduates. He has traversed the country in various stations. He has undertaken his responsibility as a police officer excellently, away from other police commissioners that we have seen, who have had some breaks from the police force. We are expecting - and it is our hope - that we are going to get some very good services from him. This is so considering that for the first time, he is taking over the police service when there is some element of autonomy. If you can remember, the other day, His Excellency the President gave the police service an autonomy, where they are supposed to run their own affairs with their own money and an accounting officer. Thus, he has delinked it from the Office of the President where they used to get some serious bottlenecks. Eng. Koome is an outstanding and very experienced police officer. He is bringing to the force a long experience of over 32 years. Just recently, we have seen police officers being used as political tools by some elements of the Government. Currently, Eng. Koome is the Commandant of Kiganjo Police College. For those years that we have known him, we have never linked him with any political leanings. I think Kenyans are going to get the very best IG for the first time in the Kenyan history. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I totally support the candidature of Eng. Koome as IG. We expect some serious changes in terms of service delivery to Kenyans."
