    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity that you have given me to take to the Floor to support this Motion and speak more about the IG nominee, Douglas Kanja. This is a time when the country really needs an IG. I happened to be in the Standing Committee of National Security and Foreign Relations in the Senate Joint Committee with the National Assembly and we had an interactive session with the nominee. We realised that the experience the nominee has in this country is quite enormous and we were really impressed. We brought to the limelight of the entire country that this is the right nominee; somebody who has rose from a constable to the position of the Deputy Inspector General of Police. This is enormous. It is something that we really encourage. We thank God that we still have officers who can work through different ranks. He went through all the ranks from the first rank of a corporal to the Director General of Police. This motivates the entire service. They get to understand that somebody can rise from the position of a constable to the IG position. We realised that is a very important opportunity for the entire country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, since we broadcasted all this live, the nominee promised the Committee and the entire country to deal with issues of corruption, particularly on the issue of traffic, where we realised that there is a big gap in this country. He also promised to look at the issues of deployment of staff to areas with shortages and even try to bring discipline within the force. These are the issues that he brought out to the committee and Kenyans when he was being vetted. 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."
