    "content": "There is thuggery and snatching of bags and mobile phones. These are things that were not happening until very recently. I do not know why. I hope the Government will be seized of this issue and that it will ensure it comes up with policies that will make the National Police Service (NPS) work effectively. I hope it will also make sure that the welfare of police officers is managed better. You have seen statistics of police officers who have been committing suicide. I hope that the NPS will set up a health facility that deals with mental health because police officers are children of our country. You can see the conditions that have made them get into what they are. I hope that the Government will also improve the welfare of police officers. As I have heard my colleagues mention, we should not politicize and, in that case, toxify the NPS politically. From the way my colleagues have said, if it was being done by the previous regimes, I hope this regime will not repeat that exercise and therefore, make Kenya a better country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I endorse and agree that we should confirm Eng. Koome. We wish him well. I hope that when he has very serious issues, he will engage with the Committees of the National Assembly and the Senate, so that we can work together as a team to make sure that he succeeds for the period that he is going to be Inspector General (IG) of police."
