"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know that I just have two minutes, but I want to spend them very quickly. In two and a half minutes, I will say what I want to say and then I will donate the rest to Sen. Cherarkey who wants to say something on this topic. Just two things. Number one, the reason why I give a vote of approval to the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police, Mr. Douglas Kanja Kirocho is because he is a man of his word. I want to give him my vote of approval on behalf of the people of Kericho, but with only one assurance. Sen. Omogeni has spoken about something that I am very passionate about it. If you drive from a place called Total to Kaplong or Chebilat, where we border with Sen. Omogeni, you will count more than 20 police stops. There is nothing else they are doing other than collecting money from matatus. I want to tell Mr. Kanja that the only reason I am giving you a vote this afternoon, on behalf of the people of Kericho, is with the assurance that those police roadblocks will disappear. I do not want to see those toll stations in Kericho. That is the only deal that I want to enter with him. Second and the final thing, Mr. Speaker, Sir, is that I was in the United Kingdom (UK) last week. This is overly about the institutions of oversight. As you are aware, there were riots in the UK two weeks ago. As I speak today, the police have been able to round up those who were inciting people to violence, including online. 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."
