    "content": "Hon. Members, that brings us to the closure of Question Time. This is an innovation under the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 and that amended the National Assembly Standing Orders. To the Cabinet Secretary, Prof. Kindiki, you have come well. You have set the bar reasonably high for your colleagues to follow. You can see that the docket you hold is the nerve centre of the peace and security of the country. The number of substantive Questions and supplementary questions raised by Members on the Floor of this House indicate very clearly that you have your job cut out. You have to move the length and breadth of the country to ensure that there is adequate and proper policing - policing that adheres to the rule of law and non-violation of people’s rights. Above all, you have to capacitate the police to do their job in terms of provision of equipment, mobility and remaining accountable to the people’s representatives, who sit in this House. You have done very well. I congratulate you, this being the maiden appearance by any Cabinet Secretary under this new arrangement. I hope your colleagues were watching to see how well you performed. We expect nothing less from them when they come here. Thank you very much. You are released to go back to your office. Hon. Members, the next Order is by the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. Hon. Members, remember that today you are sitting up to 9.00 p.m. if business is to be prosecuted in the manner we envisaged."
