    "content": "changed and evolved. I can see we are fighting illicit brews, but we are surprised to see it is being sold when our police officers are looking. We wonder why it is being brewed next to a police station. I support the police officers in Dagoretti North and we have done very positive things together like enhancing community policing. I know in other communities when you see the police, you run. It used to happen and it is still happening. So, we have to ask ourselves as we bring in our next Commissioner, what he will do best. I am sorry to say, this but sometimes, you find someone telling you that he has worked for years but the same challenges he faced then are still the same to date. As we move forward, I know we have started pointing fingers because of the issues that are happening. If we decide the Police Service must deal with all the social fabric challenges, they must be trained. They need to be distinguished from politics so they do not feel they might be interfering with it. We have mixed very many things, and that is why there is a lot of laxity in terms of dealing with the moral decay in our society. As he comes in, let him learn to appreciate other institutions around him. I hope he will have very good understanding of the different organisations in the service. The police are going through many issues like, they went somewhere, used force while on defence, and they are being taken to court. I hope the Commission will look at those issues. This House must come up with clear regulations to guide because there is an issue of people being taken advantage of. Hon. Temporary Speaker, as I finalise, I want to appreciate and wish Mr. Edwin Kiprono well. I want to tell him we will support and also mentor him. We will support the police where need be. I have always been their supporter, and I will support the need for improved welfare so that they can serve this country in a better way. As the Committee does it rightful job, we need to have good officers who are willing to serve this country, give better services and understand the Constitution. Mr. Edwin is a lawyer. As he goes in, can he guide the rest to understand the Constitution and what they need to do? Hon. Temporary Speaker, with those many remarks, I beg to support the Motion and wish Mr. Cheluget well. Thank you."
