    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also take this opportunity to support this Motion. Allow me to thank both committees of the two Houses, together with their Chairpersons; my friend Sen. Cheptumo and Hon. Tongoyo. Mr. Douglas Kanja has done a good job for this country for the past 39 years. He started as a police constable and rose through the ranks. He then served as a corporal before being a Senior Assistant IG. Now he has been nominated as the IG. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the nominee. When he was being vetted, he indicated that he is worth Kshs46 million. For 39 years he has served in this country, he used to get Kshs98,290 per month. For some Cabinet Secretaries who have worked for the Government for two years, they earned Kshs8,333,000 every month. It is really commendable that after 39 years of service as a police officer, starting with the rank of police constable, he has an asset base of Kshs46 million. Some people are talking of police officers being cruel. I think the problem we have in this country is that police officers are underpaid. What I would request Mr. Kanja to do immediately he is confirmed is to look at police housing. If you go to Industrial The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
