    "content": "I urge the Committee that will be charged with that responsibility to take the current PSC to task and have firm timelines. I have seen their budget has grown tremendously. We need to pass a resolution of the House banning all travel for Members of PSC until the day they will allow Members to serve in that building, then we can allow them to travel. Lastly, I would wish that my good friend, Sen. Sifuna, could take time to explain to his colleagues from his Minority Side the provisions of Article 249. The command of the Police Service is independent. There is no Government Side or the Minority Side who can direct the police on what to do. This is a basic constitutional doctrine. I am troubled when I see my friend, Sen. Oketch Gicheru and Sen. Beth Syengo, suggest what the Majority Side should do. Police brutality has been with us. You are ridiculing Sen. Cherarkey who was the biggest victim in the last term and this used to be celebrated here. Every Friday afternoon, I used to tell him, that instead of going to Nandi County, he should go to Kisumu Police Station, where he would end up anyway. We need to confront police brutality with concerted efforts, without the little doses of politics that water down the efforts. I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
