"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Report, and also to support the appointment of Douglas Kanja Kirocho as the Inspector-General of the Police. This country and the Constitution transformed the police from a force to a service. Douglas Kanja is a man who can provide service in the police service. He will not turn it from a service into a force. He is a humble man who respects both the mighty and the lowly. He is destined to ensure that human rights are respected in this country. I know Douglas Kanja. I worked with him when he was the County Commander in Kilifi. He was the boss of the county, but he worked with even the lowest of the people. Today, if Kanja steps in Kilifi, everybody respects him. Everybody says that he lived his time in Kilifi well. I am sure that when he takes the seat at Vigilance House, people will be happy that we have that kind of an Inspector-General. He has his job cut out for him. He is the best Inspector- General we can have at this particular time when the people at Vigilance House are trying to turn back the clock on the gains that we have made in the police service. Issues of human rights and respect for law are being clawed back by the people who are currently serving in Vigilance House. I strongly believe that Douglas Kanja will take us to the time that Kenya should be. The President has been very clear. He does not want to see forced abductions. He does not want to see extrajudicial killings. He does not want to see impunity. However, you can see The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
