    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was privileged to be among the people that vetted the IG of Police. I want to confirm to this House that the IG demonstrated a wide range of experience for 39 years. The committee was convinced beyond reasonable doubt that Mr. Kanja is suitable for that position. On the issue of insecurity; I was very much concerned about the issues of insecurity and how he would handle these issues. Nonetheless, he was very eloquent in terms of elaborating on how he will handle the issues of insecurities in counties and to the people that are in close proximity to Somalia border. Mr. Speaker, Sir, he had experience in terms of handling the insecurity in the counties that are in proximity to Somalia borders having worked in Lamu County where I come from. I was convinced that he will handle the insecurity issues in those areas. On the issues of demonstrations, he was able to demonstrate very clearly that he will handle the issues of demonstrations in terms of seeing to it that the law is followed to the letter, so that nobody will feel that his rights are not followed. Finally, I look forward to having Mr. Kanja in office, so that he improves the working conditions of police officers. Police officers are people with families. They need proper working conditions, so that they feel that the Government is concerned about their families. They also need their stipend taken care of, so that they have morale to work and serve the people of this country effectively. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with that I support this Motion."
